I saw these on Top Gear for the first time, and there were two at the LA Autoshow. It's like an Elise/Exige on a major dosage of steroids.

It's still the fastest car around the Top Gear track (even the Veyron couldn't get close to it).

Veyron is an expensive way to go straight in a hurry.

Actually I saw Final Gear's review of this car and they gave a very different impression of it. You might want to check that out. Paints quite a different picture.
