What was that Spanish supercar that was featured on a Telly show a few years ago? I think it was one of those travel shows or maybe a foodie one and the exciteable presenter got taken for a trip out in it at what appeared to be super slow speeds. It was a more outlandish design than the Spanner with (I think) tandem seating and a fighter-jet style cockpit.

Of course I might have just dreamt up the whole thing...
Just googled it and I wasn't imagining it.

Tramontana anybody?

Intresting choice of engine. Guessing there will some form of Forced Induction to get those power figures.

My Eyes!! Please take it away.

I doubt even Hot Wheels would want to recreate this - this thing!
You're kidding right?
No, it's deeply disturbing that it exists at all.

Looks to me the designer worked front to back, started wanting a hypercar, then changed their mind and decided on a pickup, but couldn't be arsed to change the front.

Boutique looks, charity shop appeal.
Made me laugh...thanks! smile

+2. Have to say, I like the front angle, but the rest doesnt appeal.

I really wonder if anybody bought one, ever.

I rather like that... I think I must be in the minority!

However, if it is Pagani money - maybe not so much!

I know it can get hot in Spain, but the day they accidentally left this outside in the sun it must been a soddin' scorcher - the poor thing has gone and melted!!

But, imagine the scene: a entire team of distraught designers all standing round in complete silence, lamenting the thermal adjustments now irrevocably set into their brand new baby (of which there is only one in the entire world), looking at it from every conceivable angle, wondering how on earth they'll ever work again, when suddenly, without warning, a passing taxi driver provides an immaculately timed spark of inspiration that immediately serves to rescue the entire project. Leaning head and shoulders out of his brand new white seven seater Seat Alhambra SE Lux (complete with Sports-style comfort front seats), he uses every ounce of his accumulated wisdom, skill and judgement, and utters...

"Ey, looks ok, no?"

The rest, as they say, is history!!

"just 99 examples of the GTA Spano will be produced for the whole world, making it one of the most exclusive supercars out there."

I suspect it'll be considerably more exclusive than that.
I'd agree. Seems this power hike is nothing more than a cry for attention. Haven't heard of many rolling about. Shame though...

I'll file it under "if only it didn't look like that".

The trouble with a lot of these obscure supercars is very few of them look like there worth there asking prices

That wing/rear arch/sideskirt/whatever looks like a skin graft being rejected.

Remarkable resemblance to my nose after the nice man in the mask cut out the basal-cell carcinoma and plugged the hole by stitching surrounding flesh into it.

A well-tried recipe. Build a chassis, body, add big American V8 (or V10 in this case). Some are good, some are bad, and some are ugly.

Saw the current car at Goodwood Last Year, didn't know what it was but thought it was one of the more exciting, original and best styled car there, very clean and purposeful compared to the current Lambo's, Ferrari's and Macca's that all look a bit overstyled with all of the intakes, ducts, strakes, wings, flaps etc. Only the Noble comes close but not that close. IMHO obviously.
I remember it from Goodwood as well. If I am not mistaken, I had plenty of tome to look at it in the staging area for the supercar drive-through as it appeared to overheat sitting in line and puked fluids out all over the Tarmac. Not a particularly warm day, either.

The Spam oh. Fine from the front but that oval at the side looks like it is glued onto another car to hide it.
I suspect the pricetag will be changed after about 6 months.
