    It's not as sleek as the Zonda, but I like it. If it has a manual and a normally aspirated AMG engine I want one.

    EDIT Read the link. Twin turbo and automatic. No want for me.

    Rear 3/4 view is nice.

    It's certainly less like a tarted up hooker than the original...but not liking the front end.

    Another one bites the dust.

    Wasn't Pagani supposed to be a holdout?

    The customer is #1 I suppose.

    If Porsche bottles out with the 918 thing, the manual supercar will be gone forever.

    If it doesn't though, it would be ironic that the last "major" car maker with a manual supercar would be german...

    A supercar is meant to represent the pinnacle of road car performance.

    At this point, a manual gearbox decreases performance. I think it makes a degree of sense for them not to have a manual. It is cool that some manufacturers still rocked manual supercars recently though.

    EDIT: What I liked about the Zonda was that it had a big NA V12 and a manual gearbox. I did not like the look of it. This does not have a NA V12 or manual gearbox, and looks terrible.

    for the same reasons as kitdy i don't mind that there is no manual but the option would be nice.
    rear end looks much cleaner than the zonda, but the front air dams/lip.. hmm

    So if supercars can't have a manual because it's too slow and grand tourers can't have a manual because it's too difficult, what's the manual there for?

    Bang on. Low and mid market sports cars specifically; the Genesis, the Mustang, the Corvette. This is where manuals should most often be applied.

    EDIT: About this car, I am curious as to how much boost it is running.

    Beyond the Heavy front lip and pinched rear window, this thing is alright by me. Automatic or not.

    I am just glad you guys were not around when the electric starter motor was invented.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    It's unnecessary weight! All cars should be hand-cranked!

    I think video footage gives it more justice than still photos.

    Check this out (also includes engine sound ):

    Don't like the sat-nav though. Looks like a cheap chinese tablet IMO.
    Also check out the front 'fins' in action at around 0:48.
