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.

Looks like all the other hypercars to me

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.

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
