Looks like the love child of a Ferrari Enzo and a Lotus Evora.

Holy front overhang, batman!

I do see the Enzo in the profile as well, which had me wondering if this was just a photoshopped hoax or something.

As far as the front overhang goes...

It looks like it would have great potential for a Jesse James conversion (Exotc lawn mower?, Supercar street sweeper?) underneath that front nose.

Well, what I'm saying is, for a no-name company its gonna be hard to compete with 500 hp cars that have a prestigious brand to back it up. Also, using the Corvette engine, how much faster is this car gonna be faster than the Corvette (or a modded one)? I'm not doubting the 1000 hp version is gonna be crazy fast but the base model of this car seems a bit too expensive

they're making 70 of them. they'll sell that many for sure. CF chassis is cool.

hope they never get into a fender bender though.

Given the design of the car I suspect a Corvette wouldn't know what hit it. Look at some of the American made cars that have used Corvette power. Most are very kit like but typically their lighter weight and mid engine design helps them run away from Corvettes with ease.

Lice, that's not very sound logic. The McLaren F1 is only 600 hp and even as a used car over a decade old it goes for over $1M.
Yeah but that's MCLAREN. Who the **** is Arash?

Arash. The only thing that comes to mind when I hear Arash is if I go down to Houston in the summer and I get A-rash. I hope its not the case with this car.
