Not Porsche but,
 

I saw this today with 75-80 other Porsche owners.
$8 mill, 5 miles to the gallon but who would care?
Over 200 mph and looking good http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1169333292.jpg

Maybach Coupe?

Yep, the couphttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1169334415.jpg

If they offered it in aubergine, it would truely look like an eggplant.

I don't know about the 'looking good' part. The shape reminds me of something you'd use to vaccuum the bottom of a swimming pool.

It tries too hard.   I guess it has to be swoopy to do 200 mph, but this car looks like a big black supository with wheels.

Oh well, I really liked it, if they offered one I would think about it, right now I am only $9 mill short.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1169339940.jpg

somebody photoshop some 60 cadillac fins on it.

Am I going to be the only one that likes it?
figures.....

It even has your typical helmut racks behind the seatshttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1169341882.jpg

When are cars going to be different? As in not just a line here and a line there but something weird. Ariel Atom different? This is just a parts bin special no matter how nice it may be or even how unique. Slap a price tag like that on any prototype and car and you will have press. I wish thinking outside the box would occur. The toyota Prius, a very cheap car, is really the most advanced car out there. Not by measure of butt heaters and traction devices but by different technology.

"I wish thinking outside the box would occur. The toyota Prius, a very cheap car, is really the most advanced car out there."

But I will never drive, want to drive, be caught in, a Prius.

I like the way it looks and of course, who could criticize it's performance (other than 5mpg)? For such a heavy car, I think it's GREAT.

About the Prius - if that's what it takes to be different, I guess I'll just have to be another one of the Jones'. I won't say I NEVER will, but I hope and pray I'll never want or need to drive a Prius. UGH!

It is not that this car is a parts bin special, there is plenty of craftsmanship here that would make the car expensive to produce.

The problem is that the car is uninspiring.   I mean looking at the side view I am just about as inspired as I am looking at a Volkswagen Passat in the local WalMart parking lot.   The ass end looks like a Chysler Crossfire ate a Cadillac DTS.  

If Batman was an accountant, this would be his car.

the new elise is pretty different...

Do you drive a Porsche?

Does "different" mean better?
There are lots of "different" cars, nobody wants them.

I have owned "rare", "different" cars, it doesn't mean anyone likes them.

I don't look at my Porsche as a lot "different" than the years before it but I like it.

I think this Coup is definitely "different"

Ok, I like it yes, but at 8Mill, I rather buy a Jet and go beyond 200MPH under 3 seconds.

I've seen it and thought it was hideous. Sorry. I see no beauty in that monstrous beast. Yuck.

There is a story behind it...

Read here

It was built for a tire company to test a tire at 350 KPH.

I actually think it looks pretty good from the side... but $8 million? Are you serious? How can anyone charge that much for a car? How is it possibly 6 times more expensive than a Bugatti Veyron?
