^^^ Agreed! I was drooling all over it this morning and thinking .. How do credit default swaps work again? leveraged buy-out and sell off the assets? Italian Job? heh ...
Hey .. did they dump the 'gullwing' doors already?

The proportions are gorgeous. Love that front end and the haunches. I'll never be in a position to own one, but nothing to stop one dreaming..... I now have a new dream car.

Great engineering effort, but I'm the contrarian (as usual) who wonders what the hell you do with the thing since we can't even drive what we've got to 70% of its potential with the state of roads, traffic, and law enforcement.
(It's just on my mind this week as we went for a "drive" up in the hills with the Targa last Sunday. A couple of the roads I probably haven't been on in 20 years. But all I can think about is that here's this near-30 year old car I'm pony trotting, in comparison to how crazy I seemed to drive my Scirocco on these same roads back in the late '70s.)

I remember reading a story years ago about a cattle rancher that sent his own hides to the factory to have the interior done with leather from his own cows.
