I doubt it will in anyway match the veryon for feeling like a finished product TBH, but cool anyway.
Irrelevant anyway to most of us as we'll never even see one let alone drive one of course.

Making 1250bhp reliabley from a 7 litre engine is pretty trivial TBH, its getting the rest of the car to work properly thats the hard bit.

Looks like a big lotus.

Cool idea like most of these type of things it sounds better than it will end up, only Noble seem to be able to resolve them well enough to be considered a seriously decent road car out of these 'boutique' manufacturers.

Hope it works for them

It looks nicer than the veryon but the back end looks a bit long.

Its so that all the cars have the same power to weight ratio and hence same performance.

Looks like an R35 GTR, look at the roof line at the back window.
