I saw this thing on another forum and decided to check it out a little more. Looks like it'd be a fun alien-F1 car.

"The Tramontana is a Spanish single or twin seat sports car with styling inspired by open wheel racing cars and built in Girona on the Costa Brava and costing from £400,000, 610.000€ or $660,000 and launched at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show.

It features a mid-mounted twin turbocharged, 720 bhp (537 kW), 5.5 Litre, double overhead cam, V12 engine, 6 speed gearbox and rear wheel drive giving a top speed of 186 mph (299 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of less than 4 seconds. The body is made of aluminium and carbon fibre, the car weighs in at 950 kg (2094.4 pounds) and the suspension is by double wishbones all round. If the two seat option is chosen, the passenger sits behind and slightly higher than the driver. The bonnet badge is made of solid white gold.

Only 12 a year are planned to be made when production reaches full capacity in 2008. Three were scheduled to be made in 2006."

Cool car and an interesting concept, but I don't understand how something with that much power and little weight can't break 200 mph (or even 190 for that matter). Hard to imagine anyone ponying up $660,000 for a car that can't break the double century mark when absolutely everything within half a million dollars of it can.
