That has to be the longest two seater ever. Don't love the wheels or the front grille (reminds me of Audi or the ASMA Shark) but overall it's awesome.

I'm trying to like it but I'm on the fence about that front end. I bet it hauls some serious *** though. Outstanding photograpy there.

I like the Exelero just on the fact that no other ultra-luxury car looks as mean as it!! Awesome pictures, can't wait to see one in person.

I was looking into getting one of these, but there's not enough room the 400-stall garage.

Ugly car, beautiful pictures. The length of that hood is overkill.

Awesome spectacle.
Fulda should be congratulated for building something like this to showcase their tyres.

I've posted in detail about this car - if you want the histroy on it.

It is a one-off, showcar -- and will NOT go into production.

Gizmag has done the best, most complete writeup on it.
