looks a bit like a ferrari f430 and porsche panamera from the front and a lambo from the back, which is not bad at all

In scarlet red it will look like a cross between the F360 and F430....

Around 450kw.

It's also apparently damned efficient - has the highest KW to CO2 ratio of any car in the world (with a combustion engine), including hybrids.

The real exciting stuff is under the skin!

It is expected to lead the field in technical innovation thanks to its Formula One association. Details obtained by WCF state the MP4-12C will have a carbon-fiber monocoque body structure. However, the big innovation is in direct correlation to its namesake, the MP4-12 F1 racecar from 1997. First seen on this racecar, but subsequently banned by the FIA, the MP4-12C will incorporate technology known as a "brake steering" system. It will allow the driver to brake either rear wheels via a selectable second brake pedal resulting in reduced wheelspin and the elimination of understeer.

Should be quite interesting. But I doubt the avarage millionaire would have the skills to really exploit the engeneering brilliance. So they will keep buying the Ferrari/Lamborghini/Porsche alternative , becuase they just too dumb to operate this one.
