Notice the center wheel nuts on the left side of the car are in red and those on the right are in blue, just like a Formula 1 car. :race: 19" wheels in front and 20" wheels in the rear are made from forged magnesium.

Yeah you're right... You're probably the only one..
Damn that's a beauty.. Although Benman is right about that red color. Imagine it in black... :eek:
I was a bit sceptic (spell check?) at first sight, because it wasn't anything like the 911 but, hey...even Porsche must develope their design... And now, I thinks it's really cool. But, is it actually a race car?

I guess some cameras have a difficult time capturing reds as that color actually looks more red than pinkish in person. However, my choice would be a silver or black one as well! :race:

yes, definately silver or black. the only problem with black
is keeping it looking clean (had 2 black cars and those are the
last ones:hihi: )

Perhaps not one of the owner's concerns if he/she can afford such a car at ~460,000 Euros :)

Oh damn... Missed them again. Sometimes, I wish I would be living in the deep forrests in the north of Sweden. That seems like a good opportunity to see all the supercars before anyone else does...:rolleyes: I wonder why there wasn't an Carrera GT at the Stockholm Car Show? I'd loved to se it in real... :cry:

That's a great pic of the test cars, Erik. Did you witness it in person? Must have been some stunning sight and sound!

A very nice sight. There's a lot of activity developing cars in the northern part of Sweden but also a lot of hush-hush. The locals don't really like photographers either 'cause it would hurt their business if the manufacturers left.
Not sure who took the photo, but it wasn't me.

...the story continues! :MTM:

900-1000 bhp!!!

"Now for substance - as if the song of the super powerful V10 wasn't enough, 9ff have found a way to crank up the output as well as the music that goes along with it. The layout is created of high-grade steel, and has four titanium exhaust popes. By using straight pipes, and race-grade catalytic converters, the system brings back any lost horsepower from the stock exhaust. It won't be cheap, the price tag for this exhaust runs at just a hair under 10,000 euros. 9ff have already received a few questions concerning turbocharging and the naturally aspirated V10. All the company has to say is that between 900 and 1000 horsepower is within reach. Top speed could jump from 330 km/h to a mind-boggling 380 km/h. And how probable is this? Very… so long as the tires can hold up."

Those pics are taken in Arjeplog, Sweden. The sound is said to be something to dream about...
