Not a bad first try. The body, like a lot of 2nd-tier efforts, is somewhat immature in its styling details, but the shape fits the mold of the target. The taillights are really big though; they need to go smaller. The wheels could be better, but they're not terrible.

All told, 1300hp is impressive on the street I suppose, but I'd like to see a more engineered drivetrain setup, rather than just going for as much gusto as bolt-on technology will allow. Anything making 1300hp has to be blow or turbo'd pretty seriously to be getting those numbers. I'm not sure what this car is using - V8, V12 or something else - but the price seems high for what they claim it will do. Then again, and Enzo only manages 7 more MPH top end for half a million more, so...

Not bad. It looks a lot like the rest of the super cars.

Cool looking car. Seems like they borrowed from the Pagoni(sp?) Zonda, the Enzo, the McLaren F1 and who knows what else.

But that name, "Locus Plethora" that needs some work. I know "Plethora" means a lot of, much, a great number, vast, etc. but it just sounds stupid and even a little feminine. And "Locus" sounds like a ripoff of Lotus.

More than anything, it needs a better name.

Looks like a Garaiya with a new hood and lights.

No, that would be the redneck super car.

I guess they didn't want to do anything original.

A Plethora of Locusts. Isn't that a biblical plague? Great name for a car, eh?
