This thing is utterly terrifying.  Take a Lotus Elise, which is supposed to be small, light, a bit underpowered, and have a short wheelbase, and give it a longer wheelbase, six times the horsepower it originally came with, and add only a little weight.  Seriously, with a claimed 2400lb weight, and 1200hp, 2lb per horsepower... I don't even know what to say about it, other than wanting to see some videos/performance numbers on it.

NEED MOAR!

From the comment thread on Jalopnik:

"What makes it a standout, at least to me, is that it's got some o'the old ultraviolence. Supercars have gotten way too soft lately, they should be scary, intimidating and designed to kill you."

"man that thing has got widow maker written all over it"

Yes, slow cars have traction.  We all know this, just like we know you're no fun.

I'm not a fan of super-size-me rims and shit, but the overall "stealth" styling for the most part is really cool. I love how the rear lights are just floating, and the mufflers visible right through the rear opening.
