Super Car Investment??

[marketsurfer]

That's a risky proposition...to be an angel investor in a (another random no-name) super car company.
They're more or less all the same...using Twin Turbos on a V8 or V10. You'll be very lucky to breakeven.
Or if you absolutely must invest in a sports car...buy a vintage Ferrari...and hold onto it for five or ten years.

You're better off ...betting all that money on an options trade. {sorry for trolling...}

It's not to make money. Just a fun thing to be involved with. Folks that would be interested already have a wide variety of investments etc. surf

I saw the email and visited the site, which is why I asked the question. There's no mention of who's actually asking for the money, how much the company wants, what his qualifications are in building supercars prior to this, etc., etc.

It just seems to me that if somebody wanted an ultra-high horsepower American-built supercar, they would go straight to John Hennessey.

I could'nt agree more......

I'll stick with a P85D 0-60 3.1 for just over 100K.
"fun thing to be involved with" sounds like a lot of new traders and their approach to the market.

Pretty sure they only lose on Veyrons as the 5Mil cost is including R&D and based on X amount of sales, actual cost to produce 1 is likely 1Mil area, so better off selling more as it reduces there R&D cost.

Likely never enough to get the car profitable but hey!
