The seating position in that looks insane, they really went for a as close to a formula 1 car on the street as you can. Plus a 10k+ red line, crazy.

Doesn't look quite as extreme as the Valkyrie. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

Not a huge fan of that LMP-style dorsal fin. Otherwise the car looks about right for a 1000 hp AMG product. Really digging that shot where you can see the suspension and powertrain.

Ugly as sin, holy cow. They didn't try at all

Looks like all the other hypercars to me

:iono:

Obviously this is a very high quality extreme performance automobile. But I'd get a lower end lower power and lower performance car with a manual before I'd get something like this if I had all the money in the world. At some point there's so much performance I'd never use that I'd rather get a car that's fun to drive. Like an older Ferrari or a newer Porsche GT3. I am no technophobe- I like all the nannies and driving aids, but a slushbox is a slushbox no matter how good it is.

in the age of automatics, I think car companies are so focused on sheer performance and numbers they lose focus on just having fun driving. :iono:

inb4 "FRS/BRZ/GT86 vs Mercedes AMG Debuts 1000HP Project One" thread and "Well FRS/GT86/BRZ was fitted with shitty prius tires, better to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow"

Putting one of the worst sounding F1 engines in history into a production hypercar is an interesting approach. Seriously, if I had the money I wouldn't have any interest.

Rather have that 7.0 liter V12 powered Aston Martin Vulcan.

Rendered car will remain as such. Doesn't really matter how extreme they make it look.

I second that, in a world of electric motor assisted reduced displacement motors, hats off to Aston for making the Vulcan. Stunning to look at, and that sound - right up there with the Zonda and Porsche 917 in my book :)

I would rather buy an LFA and use the rest of the money on hookers
