In partnership with Red Bull Racing, So maybe some Adrian Newey (sp) influence. Maybe this was one of the projects he went to as he stepped away from the Red Bull F1 team a little.

Yeah, this was an Adrian Newey project. Won't ever make it to a public road like that.

$3 million 'sticker' or so...give-or-take a dollar or two?

What?? Wonder how they cool it?? Cant see any place for radiators which need to be bigger for a road car vs F1 car. While hard to see on the video I don't see how the rear underside of the car allows the engine to connect to the rear wheels. It does not look like there are rear axles connecting to the rear wheels. That may be just being hard to see on the video. Radical is an understatement!

It looks futuristic, but that's about the nicest thing I say. Not an attractive design at all.

Like the 'Egg, 1:1 is a bogus value that mixes metric and imperial values. It needs to be either 1hp per lb,which would be 2.2 times better, or 1kw per kg which would be 1.34 times better. C'mon car builders, you're not trying hard enough!

I ve seen the rendering of it at an aston martin event. Its going to be close to a 1000 hp na. The car will be the fastest production car ever built (to date). Also has a very unique design.

Car is 1.875m pounds which converts into about 2.4m Will make 150 road versions and 25 track only versions. Supposedly over 1000 applications already. Cant sell within one year and AM has a two year right of refusal on car.

Car will be in production by end of 18. I believe my application will be accepted. That is what I have been told....

Nicely done Aston Martin. Not sure how they are going to fit a V12 in there.

Wow - Waiverworld?! Wonder how AM can 'federalize' it to comply and how they can afford to build it? MB engine supplier and/or partner must be underwriting the program financially?
