I am a less is more, not a more is more kinda guy. However I think the design is beautifully executed. Tourbillion is a fitting name as well, intricate and excessive for no rational reason

Named after an expensive and unnecessary watch complication; perfect!

And it's still not top dog as far as HP is concerned with only 1800. The twin-turbo V8/hybrid in Koenigsegg's latest homage to excess, the Gemera, puts out 2300HP and over 2,000 ft/lbs of torque...and it's a 4-seater "family car".
