Looks as ugly as it sounds.

Not pretty, but purposeful.

I have nothing to base it on, but I love this car and would love to own one.  It's just my sort of car.

 

 I thought the regular Gumpert was reasonably quick already - do they need a go-faster model ?

...and is powered by an Audi-derived 4.2-litre twin-turbo V8 available with 591bhp, 690bhp or 690bhp.

 

What's the difference between the last 2?

 Bet you can't say it quickly after a tube of winegums - Gumpert Speed Spied....

I would get 2 Lambos for that money and give one to my brother and the change to charity, loool

 Spending that kind of money on a car is selfish...

Jusus, talk about having a face only a mother could love.  This car should be haunting graveyards, it really has questionable looks.  And the price....I doubt even your average millionaire footballer would buy one, but then again......

 

As a car entered into GT racing or even Le Mans, this would make more sense.

Not very good looking is it? But I'd say it's one of those cars that are built to see how fast they can make it go.

 But still change the looks!

I have to agree that it's by no means pretty, but as a massive fan of Sports car racing I can't help but love this car.

 There's something very Le Mans racer about it- with that massive diffuser and various other aerodynamic devices- which makes this car so very appealing.

 If I had that sort of money I'd by an Alfa 8C to pose in and a Gumpert to drive, as either one would make me salivate constantly...

 Massive thumbs up from me!

How much would you feel isn't selfish?

As much as I think this car is one ugly son of a ....    I'm glad it does exist if only to who how beautiful others are!   SLR or Zonda anybody?

But this car is for track use, and for that I can't really see past the Ascari just now.

Gumpert? GUMPERT? LMAO, with a name like that this car deserves to succeed, hehehe.
