Title: A very fast snake! Nice rear end too.....

I have always thought the rear on these is arguably the nicest of any 7 style car. This one seems to be a bit of a loony machine too!

In a different colour (yellow may be :) ) then I think that rear end would grow on me..

Thanks for that - I have never heard of this one.  A 7 with a Cobra rear!  Mentally fast too!

I thought it looked a bit like a Cobra too Ian, didn't say so cos don't want to be shot by the owners in the club!! Thought I'd be a coward and let someone else take a bullet 1st!  ;D ;D

I've only ever seen two of these for sale, both were in carbon wrap too.

They only sold a few which is why the probably why they are trying to sell the project. IIRC it was Wildmore who made it originally. When you see one and walk around, in my opinion they are truly awful. The proportions are just so bad as to be cartoon like. They were built using a cobra rear end grafted on to a 7 front.

This will be a quickish car no doubt

Have to admit I'm not smitten with this either.

I like this one, needs a few bits for the street though.

Now THAT is awesome! Is it a real car though? Looks kinda CGI-ish

A bit like a 21st century version of the BRM Graham Hill used to drive.

Agree, I am sure it was an artists interpretation of the 7 type concept updated for the US. I love this

Getting over that hot exhaust looks a bit of a challenge  :o

Definitely some kind of 'artists impression', look at the tyres, they are either very, very flat or some weird kind of compound, tons of contact patch!

Well at least they are only flat on the bottom though  ;D
