The front looks nearly identical to the Ferrari F430 but it's one hell of a beautiful hybrid.

I can pick out a lot of identical curves in the body if you look through it, it's almost like it was inspired by a handful of really great cars. Regardless, can't wait to see it in action!
Wow that's a real beauty!!
It seems strange to have the word "hybrid" and "supercar" in the same sentence but then again, I hate change.

Hmmm, interesting. I'd love to see more detail on the electric drive system. It sounds...unusual..even for hybrid electric drive systems.
How about this one?

IMO hybrid drive vehicles have gotten a lot of bad press as a result of the dubiously useful Prius (depends on your driving habits if it's useful or not). There are a lot of different kinds of hybrid drive systems, and some of them are pretty awesome.

Oh man that link to Capstone Turbine was awesome.
What is crazy about you posting it is that I have been planning to buy a GTM as my next project. I had also thought about how it would be an awesome car for an electric motor. But there it is!
I've had a really nice yellow one as my desktop for a few months. I've sold all but one of my old muscle cars, the kids are moving on, and I need a new toy!

They make some really well designed kits. And a lot of "average Joe's" can build them. The roadster is a beautiful ride. I saw one in person and it was very well built.
I've been restoring and customizing cars for about 25 years and I still love it. That's how I got into modding. I can use a lot of my skills on computer cases and it's much cheaper than doing up a whole car! And faster too.

I'd love to do a GTM someday, but my biggest question is what sort of equipment/experience do I need to pull it off in a reasonable amount of time? I've never done work on cars, nor do I have any tools of the trade, so to speak. That being said, I have full confidence I'd learn quickly, but I wouldn't want learning mistakes to happen on a build like that.
