I was browsing the Geneva Car Show pictures, came across these stunning designs. They do resemble to Ferrari / Lamborghini, no doubt about it, but hey it's just the beginning.

OK, here you go :

It probably drives like a$$, numbers don't tell the whole story. Let Tiff drive it for an hour and we'll hear the truth.

It probably drives like a$$, numbers don't tell the whole story. Let Tiff drive it for an hour and we'll hear the truth.IN order to design and manufacture a car like that, that will have the capability to accelerate like that said, and achieve a top speed of 300km/h, alot of technical expertise and automotive design knoledge is needed.

Stuffing a 5.4l supercharged engine on a chassis that is not designed for these kind of forces, lateral and not only, is doomed to be fatal if driven fast.

I dont think this car has had the necessary research done to it, therefore, it is not going to be on my wishlist, sorry.

It is not by luck that ALL supercars are made in either, Germany, Japan or Italy.

They have the knowledge, the techs, and the factories to deliver them.
