Simbol Design, formerly Automobili Lavazza, have produced this "mad-as-a-hatter" supercar, the GTX-R, says Matt Davis in The Sunday Times. The car has been in "drawn-out development and prototype testing since 2004", and the result is a cross between a Pagani Zonda and the Ferrari Enzo.
The "universal land missile shape" works best for stability at high speed and you'll need it as the car has a top speed of 205mph. The engine is a non-turbo 489bhp 5.4-litre V12, made by BMW, but you can choose your own engine if you have a better idea of what should be under the bonnet.
