It looks a little Mopar-ish to me. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

A frine who is a retired attorney and also a car nut opined as follows:

I wonder how many Mustang body parts this thing uses. I also wonder if Hyundai will come after them for their use of the name Equus. There
may be all kinds of copyright and trademark violations with this car. Why not buy a 2013 Shelby GT 500 for $185,000.00 less? It has about the
same amount of horsepower and I am sure it has a better guarantee...

I think it looks nice. But yes, there are issues. Who makes it? Who sells it? Where can it get serviced? What makes it worth a quarter mil?

front looks like a challenger, the rest appears to be slightly modified mustang. If its all aluminum why make it look like a mustang? glass?

Interesting.

the question is how many people with this money to spend will want a supercar that looks like a mustang?
