About $120K but it looks like one hell of a ride.

Nice vid and definitely a nice car. It could use a different paint job though in my opinion. Otherwise it looks and sounds amazing. An LS7 motor in a 2k pound vehicle is just unreal.

Yeah. The froggy paint job is a little off. But in black, OMGKILLITWITHFIRE

More Lucra LC470 goodness

I'm sure the crazy paint job is for their demo car, makes it flashy and easy to recognize. Some people may like it but like states above the all black gets my vote!

Impressive car, but I find it ugly as fuck. The new one, however, that he said will be out this summer is gorgeous. I wonder if it will share the same stats.

 

[AMCRambler]

I like that it'll patch out when you nail it at 40 mph.

 

[halik]

quite ugly

wonder how it compares to the atom v8 performance wise

Can't watch the video. Can it handle or is it just another "crate motor drop in project"?

The LC470 sounds great, but doesn't look all that great. The white car, however, coming out later this year, looked pretty sick.

For a lot less you could put an LS7 into an NA Miata.

In a better color it would look a lot better (that fluorescent front splitter looks especially awful), but it does look a bit like a kit car. A well put together one to be sure, but still looks like a kit car. I think the newer one actually looks uglier it looks like a cheap "modern" kit car. I'm sure it'll look better but these seem to be a boutique outfit that is more about the finished product (quality kit car properly engineered if you will).

I'm sure it can handle they seem to have put some emphasis on it being very controllable. Would definitely have to see how that holds up though.

I'd guess the Atom would win out below 100mph and around most tracks, beyond that I think it'd be up to gearing.

I like it in orange:

This may be a new obsession for me, I think this is what I had in mind of what a Viper would be like when I was a kid. Of course the reality is it's not even close. Fun, but nothing like this.

Heh, windshield wipers are an option you have to pay for
