What do you expect, it's a kit car. Maybe the 6.0L V8 is a GM design of some sort, with some turbos whacked on to it. The design is just a ripoff of the Saleen S7 in the front and the body, the Zonda for the rear, and the Enzo's (or other mid-engined Ferrari) rear window - look at those vents at the side.

Even the name is a ripoff - maybe trying to ride on the coat-tails of Brabus.

Plus, where's the proof of the performance figures? Did they just do a 'computer simulation' with the engine power and the gearing? Did they worry about stuff like traction and aerodynamics? I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.

And finally, what about things like a little comfort, luxury, build quality and safety? I doubt that's gone into it.

Ok, so I'm complaining about a kit car being like a kit car, but I know which car I'd choose between this thing and a Veyron.
