Why did they bother letting PH drive a car that is so far from being finished, if it was an attempt to drum up interest I cannot see how this review will help in the slightest.
I mean, its no Arash AF10 Hybrid is it?......... 
I guess they need funding and quickly, like many of these low volume, high aspiration dreamers.

out of curiosity, how does road testing work for stuff like this- do they get some sort of type approval- is the reg plate a mock (it doesn't show up on the database) so does it need to run on trade plates?
Reg plate is UK style, but not a current or past UK legal combination and certainly not split up like that. My guess it was abroad somewhere or they risked it without trade-plates for the photos!
I guess they hoping for some clueless rich guy to buy it. I guess similar idea to Lyken although that's more expensive. Maybe they have mispriced it?
They really don't have a clue on how to market a 1.1 million car... What shambles. Watched Shmee's take on it and makes a decent job at being polite but really he shouldn't have bothered.

My guess it was abroad somewhere or they risked it without trade-plates for the photos!Is there really room for a company like this? I don't think this car looks great in anyway compared to a Pagani did when they arrived. The power is great but who would buy one of these as opposed to the current excellent crop of Hyper (hate that Term) cars. It's USP is that it's supercharged??? Big deal.
I really feel they've missed the boat as it's electric cars that will rule the roost going forward. And the name. Could they not come up with something like Zonda? TS1 GT. I will not remember that after turning off my PC.
So to sum up, a boring name, looks that are not drop dead gorgeous, a crazy price tag and nothing that intesresting about it.
Poor billionaire will loose his money. Perhaps it should be sold with free bacon??

X23NVO? Granted it's a bit misrepresented (and there doesn't appear to be a front one, in line with current trends), but that could have been a legitimate 2000/2001 plate.
That doesn't show up as a registered vehicle either, but it does appear here and with a front plate too:https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
I'm definitely seeing X Z3NVO officer. I think for a £1.3 mil car they could have tried harder or just gone with an non age-related plate.
Speaks volumes to me about a generally over-inflated car.

I'd be incredibly INCREDIBLY surprised if they've actually developed their own engine tbh.
this. I bet significant money it is a tarted up GM or Ford crate enginealso what is that in their emblem? A shovel?

I know what you're saying but I think you're also being a little harsh. Each to their own when it comes to the subjective matter of the car itself but we should ALL be happy and applaud those who are prepared to take the risks involved when attempting to create something like this for the rest of us to enjoy, (or not...........)
