I'm kind of amazed that this car doesn't already have a thread, but allow me to introduce a supercar, Spanish style!

CarAdvice main article

What you're looking at is 581kw (780hp) of supercharged 8.3L V10 mounted mid-ships and churning out 920Nm (power jumps to 626kw, or 840hp on BioEthanol) all sent to mammoth 335 wide tyres at the back.:eek: What's more, is it utilizes a lot of very tricky technology, it's user friendly and it weighs just 1350kg, with 120L of fuel on board! Top speed is over 350km/hr and 0-100km/hr is 2.9sec. Also loving the originality of the design.👍👍

PS- Read up on that CarAdvice article for some even better pictures. The side profile is wicked.

 
Great find Paulie.

Looks fantastic.

Video needs less music and more of the V10 Roaring.
 
It looks like they threw all the exotic European cars from the past 15 years into a blender and this came out. The proportions on it are really bad too, the wheels are too small, the wheel gap is too wide, the back is too big. The only thing even remotely cool about it is the LED running lights and they are already borderline played out.
 
I see so many cars in that one design it's actually kind of cool.
 
Yeah, I'm sure it performs very well indeed but it's terribly proportioned. The single nice detail on the entire car is the egg-shaped area where the doors are:

The rest of it looks like a bad kit car.
 
Eh...I find it just another rich guy deciding to get into the supercar business. It's like a fad, nowadays.

GTA Motors are a Forumula 3000 racing team of many years that have now decided to make a supercar.

I like the design, but since it's so wild I guess there are many that will not.
 
Front looks cool, but the back doesn't flow with it and doesn't really look good on its own either. And fix the strangely shaped fenders, you don't need that much space at the tops.

Totally agree with you there Joey. I can see Gallardo, Veyron, Apollo, F430 & CGT all in the one car, powered by a Viper!!

But I have to say, it doesn't look too bad....and 780hp is good in any car that weighs only 1350kg.
 
I think it's gorgeous, but I'm a bit confused, with it having a supercharged Viper engine, and putting out so much power with so much less weight, why does it have skinnier tires than a Viper? Granted it's only a hair under half an inch less, but still......
