its always the same, a new supercar comes along, and then we never hear of it again,
But this is different. This is actually a racing car built to compete in FIA GT series, so as their rules apply, the must sell some road legal versions, so here it is

I think it looks alright, The whole car looks very wide and aggressive, but it does look a little weird but unique. But how can we tell by just looking at such a tiny picture from only one angle. I wanna see more pics of it, and maybe some specs too to see how fast it is. But for now it's pretty cool.

Spyker is a whole other company then Gillet and this one.
Spyker first build a car, then made a racing version. They also made some other models already, and entered F1. Although they've got some problems, I'm quite sure they'll stick around for a little longer.
Gillet and this Sunred builds a racecar and has to make road legal versions. Which will, like you say, probably be gone after a year or two.

Yeah you just don't know what to make of these sort of cars. It could be a real success or a real failure. I'll wait for further information on the car before I have my say.

It looks very nice but reminds me of Ridge Racer like Zeyk. :p. I like its looks, but with such limited information on it it's hard to actually predict if it will sell or do any good with its performance. But I like it anyways, overally I think it will do alright financially but with performance I think its got a chance.

Not Spyker, that would be right in any other situation, but spyker are different. They are actually looking to make a purchase themselves. They are already bought MF1
I really don't know where the money is coming from, but Spyker are a strange company i don't see being bought off.
Either way, Spykers got money, i mean they are a new company and they have 1 car on sale, yet they have enter Fia GT, LeMans and Formula 1.

This car is good. It has a 4.0 litre V10 engine which produces 500hp. It has good specs. It does the 0-100 at 3.5 secs and it has a 186mph of top speed ( 298kmh).
Some pics of it.

Looks awesome to me. Has decent looks, which I like, and weighing in 100kg over a tonne with 500bhp will make for an awesome power to weight ratio. Can't wait to find out how these cars do in their racing series, hopefully they will do Fernando Alonso proud!
The front looks similar to an MC12, love the rear though!

thats a small v-10, but 500 bhp is impressive for an engine that size, i mean BMW only got 500 hundred and seven out of a 5 liter v-10, but how many newton meters of torque does it have?
and those rearview mirrors remind me of the zonda, any takers?
