I remember reading a story on it when it was released, in Playboy magazine.
I was just reading the article's, honest  Am in right in saying it was a quad turbo V12? Beat the Veyron is having quad turbos by a decade or so. |

A gt90 is my dream car. I absolutely love it and its good to see a replica being built. If I remember correctly there is another one being built in the states I cant remember anything about it.
I do remember reading that the engine in the concept was originally 2 v8's that were cut up had there block joined together and a crank made to suit. I wonder if this one will end up with the blue rims and blue interior?

I talked to Jeremy Clarkson about the gt90 (he drove the third prototype) he said it was appalling.

Although I cant find any pictures, the GT90 showcar's tyres had 'GT90' moulded into the tread

The ones that can actually drive anyway, most concepts don't even get that far. |

From memory I dont think the GT90 had any working suspension, couldnt be driven faster than 40kmh and the turbos wernt hooked up; so it was no surprise it didnt drive that well.
