It looks like shcensoredt. The work of a styling wannabe using a straight edge and no concept of aesthetics.
What is the point? No desirability in terms of pedigree, but more importantly appearance, needless amounts of power as usual, no unique selling proposition (as already mentioned) and priced not to sell to anyone who actually cares about motoring.
Considering the target market, I’d imagine it doesn't even need to try to be a competent car, as long as it has a gaudy diamond encrusted gear knob and a steering wheel trimmed with the skin from a white rhino's ball sack.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ indeedy-deed!

I'd like to know when they're going to start making Ultra-cars.

To me it's a total rip-off of the Zenvo...

It looks dreadful. Its only raison-d'être is the fact that it is extremely expensive. The buyers of this monstrosity must have something to brag about while they're sipping non-alcoholic drinks at the bar next to the camel-racetrack?

And what about the Zenvo? Do they still exist? Haven't heard about it for a long long time!

It needs sex appeal. This looks like a kit car. One of those 1980's kit lambo's. Hideous, vulgar, sotuh end of a camel heading north. For that price it needs to not only go, but appeal to the eye.

As already stated, it resembles an R8 with some type of rectangular body styling.....at first glance, I'm not a fan...

Reminds me of the Vector sportcars of the 1980s.

All you nay-sayers critisizing the styling - It could look BRILLIANT when they take off the black splinter-pattern camoflage wrap.

Oh - that isn't a splinter-pattern camoflage wrap?

Oh

Until you reach a speed bump, then you'll presumably take the bus?

Lebanese Hypercar - What next? Narnian summer villas?
