Don't think I've ever seen this before and hopefully never again!

And yet another example of "just because you can doesn't necessarily mean you should". I'm confused about the "twin turbo"- the engine parts list only mentions 1 turbo- when is a "hybrid" considered a twin turbo set up? Wouldn't a twin turbo make 400- 500 (or more) horsepower?
Who did the interior? I like!
With no snaps along the back of the passenger compartment it doesn't appear to have provisions for a top, which is silly, and I am NOT a fan of the (aptly named) suicide doors.

In this case, I suspect they are incorrectly referring to it as "twin turbo" because it is using a "hybrid" turbo. For those who aren't into turbos, a hybrid turbo takes a normally sized exhaust side turbo wheel and has it drive an oversized intake side compressor wheel. This allows it to spool up quickly yet make a bit more boost than a "balanced" turbo. There are pros and cons obviously. If you want to dig into it, an example is the Turbonetics T3/T4 hybrid turbo.
I think that car would be quite a challenge to get in and out of with the suicide doors.
