Exclamation SPOTTED: BMW Performance Wheel in HTT Super Car

Busted! Good choice though! They want $400,000 for this thing. Looks to be a built LS3 powering the thing. Center seating position is cool.

Looks like bastard child of a SSC and a Koenigsegg. If that huge side vent had a little more thought put into it then I would think it looks alright.

Needs a better sounding engine than an ls3 if they want $400k for it IMHO...

Interesting that they would use the BMW performance wheel as well. You would expect a better wheel that is unique/special in a car that expensive as well.

If they can get it to sell they will make a hell of a profit. Cheap engine, gearbox, off the shelf steering wheel, sparco pole position seats, tube chasis wrapped in CF. Really not a big deal to build.

I think that the vents look like production vehicles as well, just can't remember where(maybe Audi?)...

That little lip in the passenger side and the AC vents look like a mustang, too...the only difference is that the vents in the Mustang have more pieces to them, but the design is really similar.



This car's a combination of a buncha cars or something.

I don't think anything on this car is truly unique. From the HRE P40s down to the Mclaren seating position. It looks like a longer Rossion Q1 or an SSC. For that price, I'd buy the LF-A

If they charged ~$100k it might be worthwhile. Might.
