Everybody and their cousin seems to want to make an exotic supercar these days. Many of them are based in the UK, but the latest to hit the scene comes from Spain. Called the GTA Spano, it's the product of a Spanish racing team evidently keen to tap into Ferrari's market from across the Mediterranean, and it just debuted in the coastal city of Valencia. Packing a 780-horsepower V10, the lightweight supercar is made of carbon-fiber, Kevlar and titanium to help it get up to highway speeds from a standstill (0-60) in a blindingly fast 2.9 seconds. It's available with a choice of transmission options, and can even run on ethanol for an added boost. GTA says it will only build 99 examples of its first roadgoing sportscar, which will carry a pricetag in the neighborhood of $670,000.

The front, lateral and top views look fantastic.
About the back I didn't like it at first sight but when I saw the videos in youtube I like it much more.
I expected more from the interior design but it's a pure engineering company build in GTA & Formula competition. So the technological level is very high with lot of new patents that for sure will see soon in new models but unfortunately the interior is not at the luxury level of other brands, but it looks comfortable. Another thing to mention is the driving behavior which is very smooth for this kind of cars, many of sport cars I tested are very uncomfortable driving also the seats aren't great for your back.
I would love to test this one.
