So they just modified an Exige eh, way to make it your own.

That is insane. But at the same time, it's really sad how deceptive they are about it having the modified Viper motor.
“One day I joked about putting the Venom 1000 Twin Turbo engine in the back of a Lotus Exige. Then I thought, let’s do a sketch and see what that might look like. When I saw the sketch I stopped laughing and really started to seriously think about this idea." But then I went with a V8 instead and kept the Venom name anyway.

yes it's not a whole new car, but they severely re-engineered the ass end of that car to work with a longitudinal mounted TT LSx motor. I think the exige looks pretty good with a little extra wheelbase too.

I'd drive it. Not sure it's a $600k + car, but it looks fun.

that's the same company that 'built-up' viper motors.. only for customers to grenade them and find out that the internals were stock.

Not that it really matters Im sure, but if I am going 250+mph in a car, I would rather it be big and heavy and designed from square one to go 250+mph. At least then an open casket would maybe be possible.

And the same company who used parts for customers cars, off other customers cars.
