The Tramontana R-edition (http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2009/03/if-i-were-superhero-heres-how-id-roll.html) is a 720-HP, V12-powered car that actually exists. Half-a-million dollars sounds reasonable for a street-legal Formula 1 car in this economic climate. [via Core77 (http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/spains_unaffordable_caroplane_12835.asp)]

[allntrlundrgrnd]

carbon fiber wheels with magnesium core are kinda neat

[silpena]

^^^ five different nachos!!!! i wanna get on that train to awsome town!

[Pank]

DAMN

that train is pretty killer too. I wish i could hear audio at work

[qwikspool]

f1 car on roids.

[!Zar!]

So...

Can it drift?

[Antihero983]

jesus fuckk that thing is dope on sooooo many levels!!!

[ZX88]

that shit is fucking ugly.that train is cooler than the car.

[Phlip]

So...

Can it drift?

Good point
Flappy Paddles + No Drift = fail

[ThatGuy]

No drift = Win

Headlight "pods" = fail

[ESmorz]

Must..... rob...... bank.

First order of business would be getting rid of the headlights though.

[aoiken3]

if it didnt have wheels, i can picture it as a submarine.

[blaze]

looks like a bug. a cockroach or something.

but of course V12 720 horses i'd drive it.

[!Zar!]

What it looks like is a tarantula.

[C. Senor]

if it didnt have wheels, i can picture it as a submarine.


that's so when who ever buys it and runs it off a cliff, they can survive.

the thing looks pretty rad though. it has a cool factor but i dont know if i'd buy that...you know, if i had the money to buy such a thing.

[NervGS]

I like it, looks pretty cool.

Don't know if I'd ever own one though, nerd level is too high, I'd get a Super Seven or an Atom (not a big fan) before it.

I'm guessing it wont be long then till I see one cruising down the strip one day.

Not only does it have the design and aesthetics of a vehicle not of this earth (lots of carbon fiber), but it combines aeronautical technology with a Formula 1 Race car. It has a top speed of 720 Hp and goes from 0-60 mph (100Km/h) in 3.6 seconds! In a limited edition of 12 and costing a cool half million dollars, I've got tons of photos for you here.

Dude, a top speed of 720HP! That thing is a rocket!

Can't wait till Top Gear does this one.

[zenki-217]

Thats sick..

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

meh. the engineering is cool..... a case of form follows function, for sure, but it leaves much to be desired stylistically. it's like, the pontiac aztek of supercars.

[exitspeed]

This will be the next car ripped in half by some rich dude that can afford to buy it but won't learn to drive it.

[ronmcdon]

Looks great, but I doubt it'll be practical or safe with a ride height like that.
The pot-holes & driveway inclines will destroy it pretty quick.
Car like this are realistically more suitable to the track, not boulevard cruising.

i love your units of measurement........

[thesimpleS13]

not liking its looks. They could've made it look less like a spacehip kinda thing......-_-. I honestly don't like how most new cars are starting to look...
