For a cool million, it's not ugly, it's excentric (sp?)

a V-16? That thing is like two straight-8 engines clamped together. And the thing consumes gasoline at the rate of 1.33 gallond per minute during WOT!!!! It should have a 100 gallon gas tank. Not the prettiest thing around though. What's w/this trend among exotics like this car and the Ferrari Enzo to have a "paddle" shifter on the column? Kinda lame if you ask me. Why don't they just stay w/a good ole standard shifter on the console?

It's a W-16, slightly different. 2 V-8's with a common crankshaft, but the block isn't much longer than a standard V-8.

Paddle shifting allows gear changes in 2 tenths of a second. Much faster than the regular stick, and no manual clutch to operate. :) Plus, it has two clutches, so you'd need both feet ;)

then why not simply have a real automatic transmission w/a shifter on the floor? You can have the "paddle". I'll pass thankyou. Paddles are for boats.

I'll take the naturally aspirated 13.6L V16 in the Cadillac 16 concept, thank you very much.

Pop Led Zeppelin in the CD player and drive around with the windows down, blasting 'Rock and Roll'.
