I should have gone to Pebble this year, my mom went and had a free ticket for me...

Its a prototype, probably has an RS Spyder race engine with about 3oz of flywheel.

Edit: Either that, or someone forgot to plug it in the night before and the batteries are dead

I was thinking about this car yesterday, how cool would it be if they set it up to pass all the noise regulations on electric power, then one mph later uncork a full race engine with no mufflers, an awesome little f-you to the man.

I know it is not a good idea, but kinda cool

keanu1 · 08-17-2010, 01:46 PM

sounds like it's broken!!

MediaArtist · 08-17-2010, 03:06 PM

I like the aesthetics of the car, but the exhaust almost sounds like a Cayman.

graider · 08-17-2010, 09:26 PM

yeah, the exaust note is weak and sound kinda broken for a supercar. cgt is 1000x better and gto is 1000000x better.

it does look good though.

Go listed to the RS spyder race car because this engine is straight from that very remarkable race car. Also makes nearly 150 hp/liter which is far better than ANY other NA car on the market. This car is going to be beyond epic.

it didn't sound like the rs spyder race car in that vid though. i wonder if it was running on pure electric in that vid or that was how the v8 would sound like in production form.

For 6500 large ones($650K), it better sound exotic

It sounds a little too rough at idle. I'm sure it sounds much better with throttle.
