Pretty nifty - I'd love to see how it runs around a track. Espicially against a S7 TT, I've always had a soft spot for the big Saleen.

I can't decide if it looks more like the Saleen as themightytimmah just mentioned or the McLaren F1.

Did anyone take notice that the car doesn't even exist yet? I think the pictures are of a mockup and you can't even see them up close. The interior is pretty spartan too.

I'm not buying the 1.7 0-60 time. Take a look at the pictures on this site:

http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/07/...s-fastest-car/

The Barabus website says it has a British V8 with coil over plugs. The engine in this picture lookes like a small block Chevy with Edlebrock heads and those aren't coil overs. Then take a look at the guy sitting on the car. Looks PhotoChopped. I think that the first and last letters (BS) in the name of this manufacturer pretty well says it, especially on the 0-60.

If you want that much hp. You can get a 1000-2000+ hp race engine running on pump gas/alcohol/race fuel depending on the hp, for about $25-60,000. Then you can put it in w/e car you can fit that engine into and save the other $440,000 for fuel.

Just about any of these cars will get you these words pretty quick:

"You're going to jail, son."

IMHO the Bugatti is so ugly I found it hard to appreciate the specs.
