No interior shots? Would you rather have it than an F430 Coupe?

I love it too! I'm curious to see what the interior looks like. Assuming it can handle well, it ought to be a very interesting option to people considering a Gallardo/F430/997TT considering it will have at least 100 hp more than any of the alternatives. Great looking body though! It makes the Gallardo look tame by comparison.

Ferrari is now officially out of business. I hope that they build THOUSANDS of these cars and get the costs to a reasonable $75K where they become really affordable for everyone. It would seem that Ford and Saleen now have a chance for greatness. Their Ford GT is the same way, with brilliant design and the only major problem has been "accessibility" so I'd be hopeful that Ford would produce "tens of thousands" of Ford GT's in order to HONESTLY give Corvette some major headaches. The Vette, in my view, is UGLY but too $#!%!$# fast to ignore. Here again Ford has the opportunity to do this really right (again) as they have the looks and the horsepower to boot.

Very interesting. Guess it has to grow on you. I am a Saleen fan, but its definately alot different than their other vehicles.

I kept looking for a smiley face, or some indicator that you were kidding, but couldn't find it. Must be something wrong with my interweb . . .

Because you can't be serious about either of those comments.

no way this will cost 75k, nor 150K MSRP...
200k to say the least, this car looks better than a Gallardo, but that back looks like an NSX

Not bad, but I still would prefer the S7 hands down or the Ford GT.

Funny part is people used/still think the GT is just a Ford and blahhh, if they only knew. Its an incredible driving car, to the tune that two owners I know both have various exotics and prefer the GT over any of their other cars.

Not sure on the Raptor looks yet though, have to see one in the flesh. The S7 looked kit-carish in pics, but had major presence in real life.

I like it, however the rear lights do look like they're done in the style of the NSX.
