Default Ascari KZ1

i saw this on this week's episode of top gear, and instantly fell in love. i think the car is beautiful. and according to it's lap time on the show, its lightning quick.

it looks a bit koenigsegg in the front with the sides and rear from a lotus exige. its got a 5L V8 pumping 500 hp. the body and chassis are made of carbon fiber. 0-100 mph is seen in 8 seconds, and it's said it will top 200 mph. i think this car is really cool.

Faster than both, though. Looks sweet.

Unhappy

Koneigsegg hood, Jaguar 220 scoops in front of wind screen, Mitsubishi FTO lower spot lights / bumper shape, Ferrari F430 window rake / side window profile, Pagani Zonda wheels, Fiat rear tail lights, Exige side scoop, Honda amber side indicator.

I'm not digging it, looks like it's got an identity crisis.

I think it's a knockoff of the Tommy Kaira ZZII







The only REAL BIG difference i really see are the wheels, scoops on the hood of the engine and on top of the car, and the tommy kaira doesn't have a window of the engine bay.
