No. But the Traction-Off button dispenses wodka through a tube.

Yes, that's the first thing I really honed in on. I've never seen a mass produced car with worse paint. That's worse than a sub 10k Korean car.

I would have to see the car in person but the body is carbon fiber and could be painted just like the Saleen S7. The Saleen is very rough and bumpy but I think they wanted you so see the carbonfiber underneight.

But I don't want to say without seeing it in person.

The XJ220 was a V6, Noble's as well. The R35 GTR seems to do just fine with it's V6.

I don't doubt it'll be fairly quick, but I also do not doubt that it'll burst in to flames if it idles in traffic for more then five minutes, shatter if hit at parking lot speeds, and have worse driving feel then a Volga.

I've done a fair bit of business and travel in Russia (I met my fiance in Volgograd) and know first hand just how horrid Russian construction technique and standards are. I'd hate to see what the interior looks like. I'm expecting it to look like a Nissan from the '80's that's been covered in suede, and have countless (and useless) flashing lights everywhere.

I wish them luck. Who knows, it could end up being the next Zonda, but I really doubt it.

The XJ220 was a huge disappointment with its V-6 engine. Its concept that everyone fell in love with had a V-12. Nobles are much lighter than the competition getting performance through light weight.. something like lotus but with more powerful engines. That car doesnt look like it will be light.

Understood, I was just trying to point out that having a V6 doesn't automatically make the machine inferior.
