Recipe for disaster?
The Swiss do many things well. Harbouring ill-gotten gold, for example. And triangular chocolate.
But, judging by this effort from Swiss manufacturer Weber, not supercars.
It's simply hideous. The front looks like the kidney grill off a 5-Series. But melted. And repeatedly kicked. The rest of it we're not even going to dignify with any attempt at objective analysis.
All those mangled panels are apparently essential in gaining greater aerodynamic efficiency, presumably because the Weber's appearance physically scares the air out of its path.
That warped, pained exterior is made from carbon fibre - as is the chassis, which gets some aluminium mixed in for good measure.
It's all powered by a 7.0-litre V8. Developing 900bhp with the help of a supercharger, it also generates 775lb ft of torque.
That's enough, says Weber, to get its superuglycar from 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 249mph.
Quick, yes, but not quick enough for Weber's monster to evade the uncoveted title of Top Gear's Ugliest Car of 2007 Thus Far. Any challengers?
