    Really interesting! I’m not a car girl, but given that I just bought a new car (not this one :)) this peaked my interest!

  2. I definitely learned something new today! I did not know that it was not legal in the US, and also the cost for this hypercar coming in at 2.5 million- wow! Great information provided.

  3. I am knowledgeable about this car. Therefore, I will share it with my hubby, he is a connaisseur and will appreciate your post.

  4. This looks like such a cool car. I’ve recently started learning to drive but I’m still very scared so I doubt I’ll ever actually pass my test!
