Looks very well finished in a way the McLarens never do - I like that. It's like a production car, despite clearly not being one. It is 5 times the price of course, so perhaps that's to be expected.. Still, compared to the "I mocked this up with balsa wood and had my mate stick some fabric over it" Koenigsegg it's pretty impressive.. tongue out

I like companies doing their own engines too. fk it, why not? They're not complicated, and nobody's interested in a tweaked version of a regular engine at this price (likewise, anyone saying they'd have the Mercedes V8 in their DB11 is clearly bonkers - even if it had more power and was still cheaper than the V12 you'd not have it).

Heavy though, but I suppose that's not the point with cars like this. You're not buying speed and performance - that's cheap car stuff - you're buying something special.

Engines aren't complicated???? Ever built one from scratch?
