Hey guys check this one out, their website is excellent, and for a cool $500K you too can have one delivered to your door.   Noble in the UK also have made these.  Think theirs might be a little cheaper.

Imagine pulling up at the lights next to............well pretty much anything and the reaction you might get.

Judging by the low revs of the 'yellow line' on the tacho, my guess is yank barge V8. Maybe a Rover V8.

No duk, all Ferrari mechanicals, pure V12 power !

this video of a similar (Norwood) replica shows a v8

I think you are right Branko, as there is another manufacturer that makes a replica with US V8 muscle, but in the video I saw the owner had them install a mid 70s Ferrari V12 engine/gearbox etc. 

Certainly if you listen to the full video I posted which is a Norwood car, to my mind there is no disguising the V12 engine note, and it is the same sound as yet another example that was built in South Africa which also uses a Ferrari V12 engine/drivetrain.

The latest versions of the Norwood replica use modern Ferrari V12 engines out of 560 Marenellos etc

Refer to the Spec sheet from the Norwood web site:
