    If I was a land speed racer... 60+K seems like a bargain for a new project. Or was this an Indy car project, similar to the SUMAR cars? Either way, it's way up there in the gorgeous department.

  7. The proportions, aspect ratio and engine choice all remind me of the Maserati Tipo 61. I got to see on once in person and it has the same sort of presence as this beauty.
