I really struggle to have any confidence in things like the Spania... new manufacturer turns up with silly headline power claims, mega list price, and expects the super rich to jump on the bandwagon.

There are maybe 2 companies that have done something like this to a decent level of success - Pagani and Koenisegg, with Pagani arguably the most successful.

Pagani started by getting the basics right - engineering, build quality, handling - and built a following off this. The mega power stuff came much later in the development of the cars/brand.

I've no idea how anyone would have enough confidence in something like this to part with their money!

The difference is those two are started by people with insane levels of detail, most of these obscure supercars are made cheaply with bolt ons using conventional methods so it's easier with no trademark unique to the cars whatsoever.
 
Supercharged Viper engine.

But that's not gonna save it from the inevitable.
It's most likely a one hit "wonder".
It looks exactly like that.
It's build in Spain so it most likely falls apart as soon as you hit a bump in the road, or it just dies on you and a message will pop up saying:

Mañana Mañana.

It's a meh at best.
 
I really want to like this but it's just a bit wrong isn't it? The GTA, Burnout and (allow me to add) Ridge Racer comparisons are spot-on. It's like the 100 greatest supercars ever were fed into a pretty lousy "design a supercar" program. Some odd features though - strange but cool engine choice, shifting it to the middle, and the option of flappy paddles or a stick is something you wouldn't expect from such a new, relatively small venture. That's also a lot of power. Still doesn't drag it out of Meh-ness though.
 
Looks like it came out of a Burnout game which means it can KNOCK OTHER CARS OUT OF THE WAY and then you can drive into the oncoming lane and BOOST FOREVER

Meh.
 
Cool, because in an increasingly monotonous world it comes with truly new/different styling (which I actually don't mind at all) and has a beastly Viper engine. Even if it is expensive, price shouldn't factor in to how cool a car is.
 
The engine is sub-zero, but the car? Sorry, Paradise City is that way.

I guess it balances out, leaving me with the impression I'm looking at something that should elicit some emotion, but fails to do so. Meh.
