But I have no doubt that once the car is out, it will be worthy to take it on track!

Why? Japanese vehicle laws say you can't make/sell a hybrid exotic? Especially considering the hit it was at TAS and winning an award. Making it reliable shouldn't be a problem, since it's most likely not going to be ran at Le Mans by customers
Mercedes is doing something similar with their project one using an f1 engine with some modifications. I like this car more a little more than the GT-One. I find it very reminiscent of it though, the 4 headlights, the inner fender cutouts.
@Japanese Samurai, is the as-books article just those preview pages? It seems like it's numbered at the bottom so just a two-page article. Anything new?
