    Looks rather like a Nissan GT-R roof on a AM Vantage V12 body ...

    so true though, even the side vent is GT-R like...

    Not to mention they borrowed Porsche GT3 RS paint Smiley

    indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine..  I happen to like both :)

    Well it's certainly not gone down too well with the Aston owners either... Basically its a limited run of 20-30 cars and has an identical engine in it to the std V12 Vantage and it will be £200k-£300k to buy which makes is 2-3 times the cost of a V12 Vantage.

    More info here :  www.amoc.org/content/view/1314/229/

    It actually looks a bit better in the videos - plus you get to hear the engine.

     that green car at the ring is a prototype, heres the finished car. It's not great but it does have some nice details imho.

    It is very different and odd, but it has some cool design cues none the less IMO...

     Not one thing about this that would make me want it over the standard V12V.

    Thanks Enmanual for those different views... as  usual for modern designs especially with such complex and compound curves, I guess it is almost impossible for 2D photos to convey the physical  sense of the car.  I expect it is much more stunning in person in ways we can't easily see here.   Not to say it is worth 3x normal price, but depends on how much people value exclusivity.   Smiley

     I'll go out on a limb here and say that I like the front end, and that the back isn't so bad either, even though I'm not sure about the rear light surround/cutout thing. Between the wheels it's god awful though - way too much GTR in there.

    On the other hand, THAT is what the Pagani should sound like...that lumpy idle reminds me of my dad's old '67 427 Stingray.

    Absolutely. I think I'd prefer the original better.
