Motor Trend takes a sneak peak at the ALPHA 12

"I reckon it’s what F/A-18 Super Hornet pilots feel every time they launch from a carrier: instant, massive, unholy, mega-positive-G-load thrust."

Seriously, I think you guys at AMS should build cars rather than modify cars. You take a fraction of the price of European supercars and you can build a car that is superior in EVERY WAY. To describe the driving dynamics of these AMS GT-R's, I have no word but "ecstasy."

With this kind of enthusiasm, dedication, and honesty, you will have no problem building family sedans that bear the price tags of junkboxes while drive like 458's. And people are going to line up to buy them.

Not to take anything away from AMS, but based off this post you have no idea what goes into building a car from scratch that has to meet global regulations.
