i think that the design of this car is based on the saleen s7 and to be honest a 6.0 liter v8 no matter how much turbos it has on it will never have 1005 hp but with a carbon fiber body i think the cars stats as wrote down may be real

You can get 1000hp easy out of twin-turbo 6 liter. The power isn't the problem with this car (well, wasn't the problem, the projects been dead since its debut). The problem was its extreme claims such as 270+ and 0-60 in less than 2 sec. None of the cars stats added up.

I actually went to the hospital charity auction where he auctioned one of those cars with all proceeds going to local community outreach program. I never understood why they had all those Swedish babes though! Hospital. Race cars. Babes in tight skirts. Community outreach? I don't think so!

And who is this Steve M. that Mr. Shvetsky is purportedly giving one of these beautiful babies to? Last I heard he had donated all of those cars to charity. Unless this "Steve M." is one of his charity cases, in which case someone introduce me to the guy!!!

Those numbers are not possible with how the car is in the pictures. The fastest street car ever has a 0-60 time of 1.9 seconds and thats with fat semi-slicks in the rear on a prepared surface, and 270 isn't acheivable with those wheels either. The car failed as soon as it was unvieled and its "British engine" was an American made banks twin turbo. The best part of this car was its engine and they didn't even give credit for that.

Im sorry but I dont believe for a second that on the road it will achieve those figures. It will struggle for traction! Look at a drag car and look at what they have to do to keep grip on a perfect running surface!

Damn, damn, damn!

Why do car manufacturers have to copy like this?!

This car is a pathetic thing. To me, it looks like it's made out of plastic and cheap materials, and the only reason it can even make the claim of going so fast is because it's so damn light. Doesn't even seem like a real car.

As for it's performance numbers, like the article said, it all sounds nice on paper, but what about reality? I can just imagine shoddy build quality plus a horrible ride to equal a bad car. As for me, I think that the Veyron could kick it's sorry ass around the track any day.

I do not know who this Steve M. is but he must be one lucky SOB! Does anyone know how to get in touch with Victor Shvetsky so I can get one of his used cars as well? I tried googling him, but could not find his address anywhere. Russian name but looks like he is in U.S.

Another oil and land profiteer?

As long as I get my car, who cares!

There is one thing all of you are forgetting, the Bugatti Veyron weighs more than 4000lbs, this thing probably weighs a little close to 2 grand thanks to its all-carbon fiber body and chassis. If the Bugatti lightened the car by like 2000lbs, then the Veyron will have no equal!!!

WOW! This car has eight cylinders less than the bugatti veyron but still can beat it in the 0-60 and also beat its top speed by 15mph!Amazing

i guess it looks like a pagani in the back but no doubt the body is from a saleen

The rumor is that a blue one will be eventually presented to Victor's childhood friend, someone named Steve M. They went to elementary school together and remained friends. Since the cars won't be available for delivery for at least a year (they are all hand-made after all), in the meantime Vic will be sending Steve a 2008 BMW 335i Coupe, so that he can drive something semi-decent for a year. After all $50K is just pocket change for Vic. What a great friend!

Yeap, I have heard about this "stunt" of his. The right spelling is VICTOR Shvetsky and not Viktor. Talk about a real rich ass showing off in front of his pseudo-friends. I hope he and all of his wealth rots in hell. Purchasing that many cars at once backlogs the firm for about a year or even more. Good for business but bad for the rest of the fans. Has anyone heard what he plans to do with the cars?
