Not bad for 2006. It looks like a mix between a Bugatti Veyron and an Audi TT. Maybe it can be the next batmobile.

A Lexus Concept; which looked like a VW bug x’ed with a Citroen was used in the Minority Report… It was an Audi “Nuvolari” Concept [which was the inspiration for the R8] that was used in I-Robot.

@ Driver

Are you sure it was an Audi? From what I remember, It was a Lexus.

the shape from a side angle reminds me of 350z

Aren’t those power figures virtually instantaneous?
That’d be all too much fun putting down 3000Nm’s from go.

Looks quite big as well, going by the wheelbase, I guess, again, something like the Veyron.

One thing we’d all miss I think would be the bumble of a V12, the scream of a V10, the burble of a V8 or the deep hum of a V/I6 =)

this looks like the car (of the future) that Tom Cruise drove in Minority Report. i certainly remember that it was an Audi in the movie.

Styling looks heavily influenced by the Bugatti trademarks.

The students may have started with the Veyron and went wild from there.

Electric power/torque is astounding when compared to combustion engines. I remember the trolley buses I used to catch years ago – they had circuit breakers in them so that when the driver got too “hoony” you’d hear a bang and the accelleration would back off. Trains have them too, but steel wheels are more likely to spin up than the trolley buses.
