Elio Motors @ New York Auto Show 2015

[BlioKart]

Anything that "quick", you mean. Though 290 MPH is fast as all get out. Plus, that car looks like raw sex in many of the pictures. That overhead shot just doesn't do it justice. Still, an American made supercar... (McLaren notwithstanding)

McLaren is 303 RU British

Better not try to drive the SSC Ultimate Aero over the curb into your local MacDonalds.

As the article is destined for the Men's Style section and not the business section I would say it is highly likely this will be a male oriented puff piece and not some serious hard hitting reporting which of course is exactly what EM needs.

So I'm gonna have to shell out $6.00 to buy this Sunday's NYT, just so I can see this peacock next to an Elio?

Actually, being utterly devoid of a sense of style, I'm jealous! But I did work for a year in the PR dept of Federated Dept. Stores -- had to read Women's Wear Daily for a year, and I have to tell you, a bigger, steadier production of absolute manure it is hard to imagine. Nothing but bogus rationale for where a hemline ought to be, when the real rationale was "so we can make more money by persuading people to switch out their clothes every year."

o_O Not even if you put a gun to my head.


.....well, did they at least have a swimsuit section?

I like the way you think. Remember crew chiefs do it with more thrust.

It is not me. It is someone who has an extremely low reservation number and is active on the Facebook EM groups I frequent and help moderate.

Rossion Q1

I don't know if the Hennessy Venom will go or not, but it sure will stop! Will you look at the size of those brakes?

Also, how did you get your pix to scale this large?

And Basses do it deeper!

Also, tenors get the girls on stage -- and basses get them off!

I'm a bass, so I know these things are true!

The Venom GT hit 270.49mph in 2014
The F5 isn't out yet, but they're hoping to hit 290.
