Holy land yacht Batman!!!

Looking at the picture with the test driver for scale... either he's really short or that car is really big. Other than the size of it, I like it. I certainly wouldn’t turn them away if they tried to give me one.

Wow ... amazing car .... so beautiful. The headlights, oddly enough, remind me of an ES/Celica.

yea, that car IS huge - 2,660 kilos comes out to 5,864 pounds

i'm curious, but could somebody familiar with photoshop try changing that huge chrome grill into a matching black? might make it look sportier and get rid of the bucktoothed appearance.

Yeah, I agree that will make it look better & meaner.

Its ummm...interesting....I wouldnt call it hot, nor ugly, just interesting. Not good enough for me to be seen driving it though. I see soooo many cars rolled into one with this vehicle.

It's monstrous and evil looking!!!! Imagine seeing this thing coming at you in your rearview mirror

That interior looks good too. I agree, shrink the buck-teeth down and it can be a killer!

Now this is the car that Jeremy can call a ganga car

Altezzas on a Maybach.....
Its very different but I hope it doesn't make production, you would need a cape and mask and a friend named "Robin" to look right in it......

I would actually custom order one from them if I can afford it, it's much more cool than getting a regular Maybach I'll get the Batman costume too

This car is quite unique and overall good looking except for the obvious Celica headlights. Can't say I like that over-exaggerated gape of a grille either though.

thats the car you show up in when you have to go to a "ball" or a huge mansion party. Either rock the all blacked out Armani suit or Hugo Boss black with white stripes....and with someone like Adriana Lima on your side....cheAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
