Every time I look at this car, the first thing that comes to mind is, "Pow Pow Power Wheels, Pow Power Wheels, POWER WHEELS..." lol.
Fiberglass body, hmm well at least it will reflect a lot but it's pretty awesome tho
Looks like it should be at the 1997 new York auto show. It looks like a c5 vette had an abortion.
Seriously? Does it still think its the 80's? this car looks like it was assembled in North Korea...
@Jackson: I'm a chevy guy but there isn't anything relle wrong with ford. It's personal preference relle. Ford needs some better engines tho. The powerstroke sucks
The fenders would look great with better fitment wheels. Those wheels just don't fill out the flare. I think this thing looks sweet otherwise though!
It kinda looks like if I girl were trying to design a corvette for herself. Lol
lol.. looks like a ford gt with a body kit. haters don't have eyes nowadays..
Yea never min that comment, I looked at he wrest of the carand it's hideous!m :s
Front fender protrudes just a bit too much. I also feel as though the way tried to integrate the front spoiler onto a single piece design hurts the entire front end aesthetically.
Description: After a 33-year hiatus, Alessi has come back to New York with an updated version of the AR-1. And instead of the Buick V6, power now comes from a mid-mounted Corvette-sourced 6.2-liter V8, whose power...

Jesus Christ, the company designed a car back in the 70's. This is not that car. This is a new design from the same company
Description: The chassis was built from eleven gauge steel and welded with a 100,000 pounds-per-square-inch tensile strength giving the latest American-born exotic plenty of strength. Inside, a race-inspired instr...

Looks like they used some vette parts, you can tell atlases kart of the chassis/frame is C6 corvette, and vette wheels too.
Haha Christo, don't be a turd. Not EVERY single car is made out carbon fiber. Turd.
Actualy jackass plenty of cars have fiberglass components ever heard of a bmw 5-7 series any corvette ever made or a ford raptor? All really nice cars and truck all with plastic bodys
If this thing came out in early 80s it would have rocked the house. It is way outdated
This could have been something from the front , but that back way to 70s. Sounds like its ran thru some 70s cherry bombs as well. A few decades to late I think!
This is not a car you buy at all Lou. It's an ugly copy of corvette and like other people previously mentioned, it's completely outdated
So nobody has a problem with the fact that it's made out of fiberglass? There's a reason car manufacturers don't use it anymore. Ever heard of carbon fiber? Everything about this car is early nineties. So basically terrible.
Its like a vett swalowed a gt whole and kept on drivin' this is total badassery on wheels
Hideous waste of time and money. Just go out and buy a C5 or C6 Corvette.
Hahah you turds think those are 370Z wheels? Those are Grand Sport wheels.
Yah this looks like a corvette but mostly from the front this angle makes it look hisieo
The wheels are definetly corvette grand sport wheels and the whole thing just looks like a corvette with a major body kit. And a mid mounted engine of course.
As said before, this looks like it was brought here from a concept car show in 1979. They probably stopped in 2002 to pick up the exact copy of a C5 Corvette interior as well. This could be an awesome car it just needs a more modern design.
It was a Corvette at one time. The wheels are from a 2010-2012 Grand Sport.
Hi there...I've got 1979 on the line and they want their car back!! Lmao!
I got it!!! The real quarter panel! That single line is most of the problem. It's too tall and has a very sharp angle. If they soften this angle then invert it so it dips instead of peaks... Just imagine that for a second...
becomes beautiful and a force to be reckoned with. Oh yeah. The also need to get rid of the idea of integrating those aero surfaces into the fascias. The over fender should be less prominent and the front and rear spoilers nixed altogether. IMO.
the front fascia, over the cockpit and down to just before the lip on the hood/rear deck. It's this line that they built the entire exterior around. But they got the proportions all wrong somehow. I dunno how to fix it, but if they can, this car
The rear deck is way too tall. And then they tried to integrate the one-piece idea in the rear with that way-too-large lip spoiler. If you look at the side profile of the car, you see the most beautiful line on the car. It runs from the very tip of
That about sums it up, man. It would be a cinch for them to design another body and replace this one. It seems like they got everything else right.
They apparently figured you would be driving it so fast no one would notice how unbelievably unappealing this car looks
Description: There are no official performance figures, but Alessi estimates the AR1 can shift from standstill to 60mph in 3.4 seconds, run a quarter-mile in 10.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 200mph.

May look cheap, but your buying it for the exclusiveness, engine, and parts. How is it around the track though? That much power with that little weight..? Bound to be hard to contain
I hope those specs are based on the supercharged version and not the turbo charged... Specs seem a bit low for 750hp
Uh this is almost an exact replica of an FFR GTM that you can build uourself
Description: Only 50 examples of the Alessi AR-1 will be built, joining a growing list of American niche supercars such as the Saleen S7 and Hennessey Venom GT; prices have yet to be confirmed.

The design is chaotic and hideous. It looks like a cheap school project. I want to say I'd be shocked if they found 50 buyers but people are still buying Eclipse's.
The haunch over the rear wing is way too tall and there's been absolutely no attempt to gracefully integrate the side air scoop. Not much has changed since 1979 design-wise then...?
Then they could stand to have that side scoop as large as it is. They'd still need to cut it down a little, or find some way to deepen it, but it would be right at home. Or they can compensate by making it taller.
I think those funny looking over fenders were incorporated because they oddly didn't use the 'one-piece' design philosophy to incorporate them into the body. Imagine that they widened the body in those areas instead of just adding extra fiberglass.
It looks like someone hit it in the butt with a baseball bat and it swelled up. Those rear things are hideous!
Did this get the memo that it's 2012? Interior designer should be fired.
It looks like a VW that put on that tuxedo T-shirt to try and get into the ball. I wonder why they copied the old Cayote besides that was one of the most often faked via a kit back in the day.
This is a ****ed up corvette. If youre going to attempt a super car why come out with crap? If your a company thats worked for 40+ years you should be financially stable enough not to design complete crap especially when 50 are built. Hell send me an
That looks nothing like a stratos.... It's just a c5 vette with a huuuuuuge body kit
It looks like a gt and vette had a one night stand baby and this ugly thing came out -_-
Justin, the only way to make this less awkward is to put awkwardly big wheels on it?
Kinda looks like they took a gt40 and backed it up into a wall as hard as they could to make their mold.
Looks like a cheap kit car from the '80s similar to a Marcos of that era. Doesn't matter how great or powerful this car has or how many gadgets there are, you can't polish a turd.
That gives kit cars a bad wrap, I've seen bad kits.... This is just drunk designers
Or they took their inspiration from the Chrysler Crossfire/a dog taking a crap.
They got to the back and just said to Hell with it. I'm tired of designing this car.
Is it that difficult for a professional to design at least decent looking tail lights?
Cheap looking rear lights. Why would anyone spend what is likely to be a large amount of money, on a car where they couldn't be bothered to style the rear lights?!
I should have read the rest before commenting.
Raise up enough money to build a v8 in house and you've got a winner
To think someone signed off on this absolutely terrible design. This equal a team with no one having any sense of style or even a splinter of taste. Just bad.
I just feel sorry for Alessi he wanted his dream to come true but, this is not working at all in any sense. Keep up the fiberglass work that should be enough. :-/
