I have read the article at www.Automobilrevue.ch and those two pics are from that site. For those who want to read the article, here's a link.

hmmmm, a biturbo v12 of 3760 cm3 that produces 680 PS at 8000 rpm, sounds good. Too bad it is so limited in production.------------------

I don't know, friends ...Usually I give nascent supercar manufacturers the benefit of my good disposition, but I just don't think the Edonis is going to be around for the long term (or any term, for that matter). Does M. Borel have enough money to see this through? Can the project generate enough heat to stoke the desirability factor amongst well-heeled supercar buyers? Indeed, can it compete with the onslaught of other high-profile hypercars in the offing? I hope they'll prove me wrong, but I won't bet on it. ------------------

Actually, only 21 will ever be built. This is the first and last car to be produced by b. Engineering. I read that each of the 21 cars will be assigned to a century, and that is its VIN number. each will be named after a scientist, and the car is supposedly for "hedonists" who take pleasure in all things in life. Each car is to be custom made, which could even mean a different body, like coachbuilders! The interior looks very mad. I have found a lot more images since this post------------------

21 is a very limited production run.
But this car is priced to match.
Over a million AUS dollars i read.------------------

Ha Ha Ha! 
From the first pic, the car looks like a hamster. Those two mirrors look like the ears.
The rear of the car looks so futuristic. Looks like some spaceship from science fiction films. Overall, a very nice car. Probably they should change the placement of the two mirrors. [This message has been edited by Rosruc (edited February 08, 2001).] IP: Logged |

th rear end desing is very agresive and futuristic 
Overall the styling is very exotic and with only 21 custom made cars , the edonis is really one of the most exotic outhere, the only thing that spoils all that fluid styling is those big rear view mirrors, rip them off and the cars is just perfect.------------------

LoL Hehehehehehehe!Yeah, I'd say guinea pig. The automobilerevue site showed it without those and it helped. Looks like an extremely nice car with hints of other supercars without copying. I like futuristic design in cars (as long as it isnt a milliondollar car that is supposed to be what car will be in the year 2100). ------------------
