That's really imprsesive, just not at $1mil+ when you can get similar for a fraction of the price elsewhere.

But that car looks really nice, and 1 of 300, I'd gladly drive one.

What do you consider similar and how big of a fraction?

Same goes for this car, which will have a more limited release.

Koenigsegg actually delivers though.

Except it’s limited for a reason, and will do exactly what the company claims.

It's sad but truck that a Tesla 3 which looks like a dime store corolla knock is faster than most "super" cars.

Electricity is the future.

Tesla has delivered every car they've promised to date, not sure what you're talking about. Sounds like the "BS" and derailing is coming from your end, not mine.

You can only put so much power to the ground before the tires break loose.

I’m sure the back seat has *PLENTY* of legroom and is super comfortable

For what the Gemera is, I'd say so. The way they engineered the entry to the rear seats without having to more the front seat is pretty slick. Comfort of course is relative when you're talking about super/hyper cars.



This is the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso for comparison
