It's a scam. Real owner is not selling the car.

Looks like a model car scanned & photochopped into a 3D program.

Dontcha think those nuts & bolts would be kinda big on a lifesized car?
Read the Hybridz thread... they stole his pics from a magazine article.

Darrel posted the Hybridz link way long ago, which revealled the scam. But, I agree that some of those pix look like a model (glued plastic parts) Z car.

Magazines always touch up their photos digitally. Usually, they just tweak the contrast and lighting, but sometimes they'll actually fix paint chips and add stuff that wasn't there (sponsor decals, etc...).
