I am unsure how anybody thinks that PWR (power to weight ratio) has any real affect on a cars top speed. PWR will have a baring on acceleration, but overall horsepower and CdA have the biggest influence on top speed, surely? Not only is this thing absurdly ugly but I don't believe what they claim.

It better be really quick, so people can't see It's uglyness.

Uncompromised styling eh? Depends how you see it. To me they have compromised on style and taste. They may even have compromised on creating downforce beneath the car. Why else build a front end that looks like a bulldozer on acid. I?m glad to see a style that doesn?t strictly adhere to the norm but hey, you can be unique and still attractive.

Wow, pathetically ugly, and way way way overpriced. Who the hell will want one of those? A Veyron goes pretty fast, and yet the shape of the car didn't suffer like this one did. Um, I'm guessing this is another cheap a_ss company that spent all their money on engineering and decided to let their engineers also design the body to save some money. How so very lame...

To be honest I don't mind the styling - after all, styling is a highly subjective topic. Objectively this thing will be mighty quick, and Weber may have created a new way of style - 'willfully ugly but beautiful at the same time'. And if anyone of you have heard Shostakovich's Fugue number 15 in D Flat Major, you'll know what I mean.

Right. Facts and numbers look good but driving around in an pinto or azteck is more pretty than this thing. like the rear view shot and that is about it the rest went to...uglyness. Looks like a kit car

I wonder to who is this aimed at, collectors of the most ludacris or well rubbish cars on the planet? With those looks it's hardly going to "attract" any buyers and it's a bit expensive for tracking only; which seems unlikely to begin with since it seems to be aimed at just doing straight-lines very fast. Wait, is it a dragster?

i f*cking love it. :] so unique, and yet once you look at it long enough, past the oddity and strangeness, one can see a beautiful composition and dynamic subtlety like none other recently produced.

revolting is the only word that comes to mind. I can see Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles buying this, but people with sight!? God that's Ugly

i think they should race it at a track to show us how well it does in figures of time and control and not power to weight and "top speed".

looks aside (its a bit odd, but im guessing its practical aerodynamics) the more important issue is top speed... for the top end, power to weight isnt important. absolute gross power and, far more importantly, torque, is needed to force its way through the surrounding air, coupled with low drag. theyre full of crap.

man!!! this thing bites! its just plain fugly, looks like they used a mallet and blow torch for the design stage!!!! i would much rather have a nice looking car thats fast than the UGLIEST, fastest car ever....

I think it look really good, sexy even. It should be the next batmobile

most of the car looks like it was designed to produce the really good down force/low wind resistance... the front however, I can't see how it could do anything other then act as an air brake.

I respect anybody elses opinion as beauty is in the eye of the beholder but....i would need a few grams of Cocaine to find this car remotely attractive, like someone said before...you can make a perfectly unique looking car without sacrificing taste/looks...but its just my opinion.
