Yeah, I just drove it in GT4. It's so freakin light! What a nice ride. The one in the picture though...they went all out with the carbon fiber. Is that actual carbon fiber or does it just look like it? I would imagine that that would add on to the price considerably.

Who woulda thunk something that rhymes with "Honda" could be so cool?

Such a sweet car thanks for sharing!!!
You may be right about Wyclef Jean but for some reason I thought Andre Agassi was the guy who owned it...or was that a Vector.

It's all carbon fibre. At less than 2800 lbs, it really couldn;t be anything else.

whats so good about carbon fiber anyways? i know they are light weight but they dont seem that strong to me. I never had any CF parts on my car but Ive had CF plates in many pairs of my basketball shoes. Nike Flightposite shoes used to have them in the sole to re-inforce the shoe, but after a while after hooping in them a lot, they seem to be real easy to crack. I just dont see it as that strong of a material, and they arnt flexible like aluminum, they just crack...

It depends on which direction you apply a force. In one direction, the carbon fiber is extremely strong compared to its weight. If you apply that same force perpendicular to the first direction though, it is very weak.

nice car but the interior is truly awful!
the interior looks like it should be in an office from the 1600's.

You can customize the interior. As well, from what I have heard, it looks a lot better in person than in photos.

I don't think you people understand. You're paying over a half a million for a car, you get your interior the way you want it. The interior is one of the most praised aspects of this car. Chalk this one up to bad taste onthis guys part if you will. I still say, in person, it would look a lot better. Here are a few more to chew on. And DB9....you could buy 5 for the price of a zonda, a different colour for every work day.

By the way, here's a little more eye candy... I think I could live with the CF, supercars get a pass for being garrish in my book. These cars also come with a matching set of custom luggage that fits perfectly in it's compartments.

I'm not a fan of the spaceship-y look of the center console. I do like that black/tan combo though. I've always thought colors like that would look amazing on the 8 instead of that weird brown they have.

I'm also a sucker for the dark brown and black BMW interior. I almost got a 325Ci just because I like that interior so much.

Well, when you're throwing half a mil at a car, you've got enough money to not be worried about money.

People that buy this car and cars like it most likely have hundreds of millions of dollars and are probably maintaining a steady income of millions.

I want to be rich
