caught moving and driving around a beach in Dubai

the 5000hp claim is pretty much BS at this point - the engine sounds like a nice V8 and not even anything like a hellcat. However since it is moving around and not in photoshop it is no longer absolute vaporware, its getting abit more substantial id say as a car.

what say you Oppo?

It looks...strange...

It also looks cheap. Like it could fall apart at any moment.

It's easier to look legit when you give the camera to the drunkest guy you can find... Geez, I would have gotten seasick if that video had been longer. As for the car, man, that thing looks huge!

This thing strikes me as little more than a half-assed kit car with a one off body.

This is a Will.i.am level of auto-turd.

Was this shared on the FP awhile ago? It seems familiar.

I checked and it was back in November or December. Doesn't mean that it's any less hilarious or stupid!

It makes 5000 horsepower, before losing 4500 of it in lost energy felt as heat.

Ok, so if this thing is for real, we are all going to be eating crow.
