What to me is asinine, at least in the U.S. , is that there is not a racing series where these cars can run.

Used to cars such as Dodge Daytona, Z 28, ZL 1 were made because there WAS a place to race them.

Most use tube-frame bs imitations; even the old GT1 were far, far from the prod . car chassis.  :o

Well at least the pig-nose has been Michael-Jacksonized.

None of the current crop of hypercars are about racing. Some give a nod - a track version of the GMA-50 is being produced in limited numbers at a stratospheric price.

Frightfully expensive for a track day car. And given the weight and horsepower, the tire and brakes bill will be alarming as well. I suppose all that is the point:  conspicuous consumption.

True, Magoo, but don't worry as none of these cars will ever be driven more than a few hundred miles.  They will go into storage and hibernate whilst increasing in value.  That is what they are for, investment, not as motor cars.

Best case scenario, it will be driven at 50 kph along some sun-baked boulevard in the Persian Gulf.
