I think this is a crowkiller hoax and the set should be removed from brickset,
etc.

Now this is a bad joke... or are you going to tell me that you were not kidding?

All kidding and joking and supposed hoaxes aside, here's a better pic (not mine
though).....

Personally, I think this is going to be a nice new supercar... I will likely be
ordering this set ASAP.  But then again I'm biased towards all LEGO supercars :)
MAybe the photo is deceiving, but the car seems very wide and very low.
Looks like a Technic red studless beam pack :)

Some quick observations:
- not sure if there is a front suspension (if not, I'll be a little
disappointed, but also very happy to add my own)
- the wheels and tires look like the 68.8x36 ZR found on the 1:10 scale Ferrari
F1 car - the 5 spokes look like add-on hubcaps (look closely at the rear wheels)
- there is an engine, so I would hope a transmission too

Yes it will be smaller than traditional supercars, just like the Ferrari F1 car
was smaller than the Williams and Silver (McLaren) Champion - probably to keep
the price down (especially considering the license costs).
If I had to guess I'd say 130 USD and 1000+ pieces....

build well

John

(...) Contrary to what some people think I think this model looks good, although I have no idea if it looks like an Enzo or not. For me the decision whether to buy it or not will depend only on the functions it has. It looks too much like <set:8448> (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
