looks like a plane !! kinda looks strange ,,which is good to have something unique,,but that cabbin seems abit tight ,, which no doubt is what track cars are about ,,

I think its a great car, really interesting and different concept, however, It looks like it was styled from back to front. The back i all curvy, sexy open carbon fibre, then you get to the front, and it's just blunt and boring. The wing mirrors are immense though, look at the size of them !!!!!!!!!

Looks amazing. Lovely rims, crazy stuff, and overall a really nice package. The interior is small, but it's really well done aswell.

But what baffles me is this: 720bhp, thats an incredibly powerful engine for any car, and a really low weight at 125-kg, but only a 186mph top speed? Did aerodynamics take its toll too much?

Good point. It reminds me of Mr Potato Head, but instead of a kid sticking eyes in a potato, he's sticking wheels in a dildo.

Maybe the highest gear is rather short for more performance. Nowadays supercars top gears are really long and that is done more for the stats than for performance on a circuit.

On the last photo, to the right of the drivers seat you can see a gear stick. Looks like a sequential but looking on the web there is a photo of the Tramontana with another interior with a semi-automatic paddle gear changer (photo below).

^This link shows the same AD Tramontana but with a N/A engine and 300kg less. The amount of torque is insane!!

pics dont work...lol whatever, ill search myself, ahhh, found it, but did you spell it wrong? i searched for AD Tramontana not Tranmontana..whatever, i remember this car, NV85 used a pic of that car as the POTM, okay, great looking car, the front is awsome, just looking like a prowler, but its much cooler, then the seating compartment, looks like something you would find on a F15 jet or something like that, and that huge side vent, grill, i dont know, it looks great, very agressive, thuogh i dont quite like the rear, the spoiler, looks bad and those lights, jstu looks really weird! but 720hp and a top speed of 186mph and 0-60 needs 4 seconds, it seems abit weird for a car like that, aerodnamic problems?

nice find. too bad the production is so limited, but then again if your the kind of person that like scars due to their elite status, thats would be a good one t have. especailly if you have your own private track or something

Its actually not that bad for a Spanish track weapon....nowhere near the Ariel though...

That's hot!! It'll win aesthetic contests anywhere :D.

Real awesome. Too bad it has a very low production rate. Well, maybe thats for the sake of making the car exclusivity.

All it needs is a real wide rear spoiler and it'll transform into a tandem F1 race car :D.

Not trying to be an Ariel Atom. This has a luxurious interior not like the Atom (has it got an interior??). You'd look "cool" if you went to a party in this, not in the Ariel. You can clearly see it is not a stripped track car, its got air con, music system, good wood and weather interior... And Id say its faster than all Ariel Atoms except for the supercharged model.

So it's street legal?

1. Its got lights, turning lights, and brake lights.
2. The interior has a music system. If it was purposely built for circuit it would be completely stripped, i.e. no music, no leather seats...
3. Its got bodywork covering the tires. To be road legal the top of the tires has to be covered.

Yes, it is road legal.

That's what I figured but it didn't say anything so I wasn't sure of it.

Id really like this company to become consolidated as a supercar company, as its from Catalunya (english- Catalonia) a region in Spain where most top bikers and car racers come (Pedrosa, Gibernau, Checa, Elias, Criville, Alzamora (Moto GP), Danis Sordo (WRC), Nani Roma, Oriol Serbia(Paris-Dakar), Adam Raga, Albert Cabestany (trial biking)...) and where I was born, but I doubt it if it only produces 12 cars a year. Still the car is amazing.
