sigh…still as ugly..
Dude … Its beautiful,
Seriously, I mean its not as tame looking like enzo, 599 , f430, or 911 and other metro lookers, but its got that i dont care "Who the f*ck!!!" you are look!!. Its like leonidas from the 300 movie , you know the beard , ripped abs and all testosterone male gens. He's not as pretty as Orlando bloom or Brad pit from the fairy tale movie troy but he would have kicked their girlie asses all the way to greece if they were in his century.
That's why i like the the gumbert …with its radical low front air scoop and aero design, its flexing its muscle and posing its abs at the Italian marques. Its telling them "No I'm gay like you…"
Could its power overkills its face?
It's too over the top.
But who ain't wanna own one?
All super cars are awesome. compared to normal no-frill cars.
haha…reminds me of how J.Clarkson was making fun of the name "Gumpert"…
