As myself happened to mentioned this oddball of supercar oddballs, I yahoo'd it and found they still xist, check it out;

Anyone with an inside lane on the history and facts about this curious enterprise?

$849,000 !!!!!!!
I tell you one thing, if a few potential customers fronted that kind of money I could easily produce a much more exotic and interesting supercar.
With the help of those posting on this forum, I am certain it would be a real winner as well.
Whos up for it?
Californian BS.
Who needs a 90 degree V16, when you can have a flat 8 cylinder 16 opposed piston turbo/supercharged two stroke with a Kers gaearbox giving full hybrd operation at well over 1000 bhp.
I did not like the body design either, looks like a poor mans testarossa.

The only reason anyone would buy this is to be exclusive as the chance you will see another one driving the same car is like 1:10000000000000000000000.

Further its engine is laughable, even for that age and the body looks like an raped and abused testarossa.

I had a nice glossy SportsCar Magazine when this came out, and the Diablo was still new, the two cars are nearly identical in the front and side profiles.

I remember lusting after this car like teens do for short periods of time.

According to PS2 GT4 the car handles like crap.

According to me it looks like crap.

Why buy one automotive anachronism when you could have 2 for the same price?

Losing 850,000 would certainly be more "exciting" than a supercar. Can you imagine the thrill of it instead of just the having your actual supercar thing?

You are a market genius! You are even better than the Cizeta!

But engineering-wise, I find the drivetrain interesting as well as rather innovative, imagine a tilted and transverse V16
with a central power take-off mated to a longitudinal gearbox, a little bit of Lamborgini and a little bit of Porsche, no?

Wouldn't it be inspiringly cute if it had been a V12 with the entire package as a fully stressed member?
