Gumpert gets uglier...
 
Given that the new Speed can run to 60 miles-per-hour in three seconds dead, hit 124 mph in 8.9 clicks, and storm to a top whack of 224 mph, however, we suspect that Gumpert owners will at least take a measure of comfort in knowing that they can outrun all hecklers.

EWWWWWWW! That is one super car i always thought got cursed with the ugly stick. I watched a video about this super car, the driving position is very awkward, it almost has you kissing the windshield.




LOL! Alfy where are you when we need you?! That first pic , with the guy holding his fist up to his mouth, could you make him have a caption bubble that says, "Oh dear lawd,this car is dreadful"!
The the second pic should say with the guy with his hand out," Its not my fault, I didn't build the ugly F-ing thing!!!!"

Yikes, that's one awful paint job, and it's certainly not helped at all by those wheels. I always thought this car pulled off the "so ugly, it's cool" look pretty well.

i actually really liked the original gumpert. this one tho.. i think went too far. it's smoother, but that paint job and those rims. jesus

CyberPitz 03-03-2009 11:09 AM

Uhhh,, it's....unique at least....

wtf? Those rims look like turntable slip mats. I've gotta say though, at certain angles I can see a passing resemblance to our 8s... I think its those flared wheel wells and the wide front end.

Give me one in red and black, and take those ridiculous covers off the rims.

The wheel covers could be to displace extra heat from the brakes? Maybe a special material?

Catspaw 03-04-2009 02:45 PM

If anything I'd say those rims increase the temperatures around the brakes.... I did see a blue pearl Apollo driving down Beverly blvd about a month back, it looked (and sounded) pretty wicked, though I've read they're an absolute biznatch to drive.

That car just plain looks stupid. What the hell were they thinking?

playdoh43 03-04-2009 03:11 PM

looks like an 8 :p

GaMEChld 03-04-2009 03:24 PM

The rear somehow reminds me of a refrigerator or something. Just a big flat rectangle.
