Nice looking ride.

I like the 20B thing better, though..

107,000 euros?? Am I reading that right?

I think the word Veilside literally translates to "ugly" in Japanese. They've never built a single tasteful looking body kit.

870hp is pretty kick ***. Too bad the engine will probably only last about 15 minutes at that power level.

I'll pass.

I don't mind the look of the Veilside Fortune kit, but its a big bulky kit... I've seen pics of the installation and its just piled on top of the car and glued to the sides. That strikes me as adding a lot of unnecessary weight. The look is very unique though, and when done well its pretty impressive. It's a really really expensive body kit though.

870hp will probably last for longer than 15 minutes on a properly tuned 20B with a T78. Rgonza is running higher numbers than that and daily drives his car supposedly. If it was a 13B-REW it would probably explode instantly.

The price is insane though, no way in hell its worth that.
