This is the HTT Plethore - an awesome-looking Canadian motor which is looking to ruffle a few feathers in the supercar world.
And on first impressions the HTT ticks the relevant boxes thanks to its carbon fibre bodywork, upward-opening doors and super-aggressive design.
First details of the Plethore emerged in 2007 with the then-unknown company claiming its first supercar would be available with either 750bhp or 1,300bhp.
The latter hasn't come to fruition with the Canadian car fitted with a 6.2-litre V8 engine developing 750bhp - giving the HTT a power-to-weight ratio of 643bhp-per-ton.
Final performance figures are a couple of months away but HTT has confirmed to Auto Trader the Plethore will accelerate from 0-62mph in less than three seconds.
As with most new supercar makers, HTT has taken the engine from an American company - Chevrolet - but one of the car's main features is undeniably British.
The driver sits in the middle of the car - one of the most iconic features of the legendary McLaren F1 from the 1990s.
As a result of its three-seat layout, the Plethore measures 7ft 5in crossways. To put this into context, the massive Lamborghini Reventon Roadster measures a meagre 6ft 8in.
Available to order now, the HTT Plethore will set you back £220,000 putting it right in the firing line of the Lamborghini Murcielago and around £70,000 more than the Ferrari 458 Italia and Mercedes SLS Gullwing.
