Cool.....impressive that they can build one per hour.

I did a double take on that too! Who's buying those numbers at 1.3 million??? Maybe the sultan of Dubai is getting one in every color.

The factory and processes look impressive. Love the monoclone concept. The billet brake and throttle pedal are also cool.

WEK.

Look at this, I love it. Every time someone comes on here and asks what they have to do to go 200 mile an hour should watch this video. Going that fast is not a joke!

I think that is the "base model" that goes for about $250k. My BIL owns a car storage company and a MLB player brought one to his place for storage. The insurance company said it was worth a bit over $250k replacement value, so they either loose about a million bucks in value when you drive it off the lot, or they aren't that expensive to begin with...you know, because everyone can afford a $250k grocery getter! Well, maybe every MLB player? :)

Boy if they build the base model to those stringent specs, I would love to see how well the premium model is built. When you get into the supercar build world it's a completely different ball game.
