Early today, I was presented with this image of the “Exotic Rides W70.” Several things struck me. 1. There is no way in hell this will ever reach the streets in any meaningful way. 2. That is the fucking dumbest name for a car company I have ever heard 3. It looks like the La Ferrari and new Ford GT had a love child that didn’t quite make it out of the idea phase.
Digging into their website, which has auto playing music of the EDM variety, you look and see they are a bunch of car customizers from Florida trying to make their own car. And they claim to be taking pre orders. Oh and also? They claim to be delivering the car in the fall. All full of shit. That is until they can prove it otherwise.
And that is where my modest proposal comes in. The only people that should be allowed to announce a car without a running prototype, or better yet, a production mule, are major OEMS. Mom and pop supercar shops like this need to come out big and bring a working car. Do journalist drives, anything. Other than that, it’s all crap clogging up car forums, Facebook pages, and twitter.

The last bloody thing florida needs to be trying to make is a supercar. The last place on earth supercars need to come from. Seriously.
The alphanumeric name don’t bother me much. Come to think of it, the LaFerrari would be called the F70 if Ferrari had stuck to the nomenclature. I would quite like a non-multimillion dollar LaFerrari clone powered by immortal ‘murican truck parts, but this is not the company to do it, and Florida is not the place where such a thing needs to be built. I mean, come on. They can’t even make a properly designed website , how are they going to handle building something that can be safely operated at 200+ MPH?
Sidebar: Websites that play music automatically when you load them are fucking annoying. Cut that shit out.

It’s not just that, whoever set up this “company” stole those renders off someone I used to follow on DeviantArt who made amazing looking concept supercars. This is nothing but a sham and insulting to the original artist.

I’m no fan of Florida but Mosler... I’d link the website but it appears to have been hijacked, Florida...
