If you've read the build log on that Smyth car, it is based on a Golf and is not a build for the faint of heart or most DIYers...I would bet that few kits will be sold due to the level of involvement in the build and the skills required to complete it. The FF 818 on the other hand is pretty much bolt together and…
Limo drivers have been buying them in ginormous quantites since the towncar is defunct...but yeah, other than them.....
I work at an airport...Limo drivers are buying them in mass quantities now that the panther platform is no more. Hundreds of the new various lincoln models pour through that place every day...
Awesome...we need these in Houston ASAP!

Nothing, as long as you have Chipotle Away!
Mini should be building stuff like this guy....small, light, and with cam lope. Yes, I know it is a Morris Minor, but tell me you wouldn't hoon the crap out of it....
I've seen it done for a Continental/United ramp worker before. They took him on a lap around all of the terminals with a procession of about 200-300 employees following behind in trucks, bag tugs, golf carts, and belt loaders....these things just aren't advertised.
Corinth is famous for its leather!
You, sir, should be grounded for never having seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Do yourself a favor and watch it...great movie.

As the others have said, there are trade-offs, but depending on your driving style, a welded diff is perfectly acceptable. When done properly, they are very tough and many see 500+ hp.
Shouldn't it be missing a few parts, like headlights and an engine?
Now look, I'm as American as they come (hell, I daily drive a 400 hp V8 station wagon and even live in Texas for crying out loud), but do yourself a favor and find someone with F-type and stalk him until he runs away in it, and the sound will be enough to bring any V8 lovin' man to tears...seriously. ...it is glorious!
Howard Hughes owned one of Sikorsky's later versions, the one and only S-29A and used it as the camera plane when filming Hell's Angels..there is even a brief shot of it in The Aviator featuring dear Leo (ironically, who was hanging off the front of the Titanic).
Unfortunately, it met its maker during filming: "In…
"...the car burns for more than 20 minutes before firefighters show up. That's some first-rate public service right there."
