MikTrebla09 · 09-07-2006, 02:26 AM

barabus != brabus

MJ1133 · 09-07-2006, 03:10 AM

It's ugly

Barabus Sportscars Limited, not Brabus. Our Brit friends may have more info. Agree it's not very attractive.

WayneE · 09-07-2006, 08:57 AM

It looks like a Saleen S7.

Moving to off topic.

Did you guys check out the shot of the engine? It looks like someone built it in their back yard. Doubtful I'd spend 500k on it even if it keeps up with the performance claims. Without all of the active and passive safety features and engineering of the VW group's Veyron, I'd have to say that quite a few of these things are gonna be going airborne.

I'd rather have the white supra that runs a 0-60 in 1.1 sec.

Sounds like 500k is pretty cheap for a plane! Not to mention many drivers that could afford a car like this need the electronics to save them from themselves.

I'm going to wait to jump into the supercar market when they build one that breaks the 1 second barrier. Enough of this 1.xx sec crap.

I agree, it's ugly. For that dough, i'd rather be seen in a CGT or SLR.

Evil Duffman · 09-07-2006, 09:32 PM
