Yes, the past couple of months have been a little heavy on the supercar-dreamed-up-by-inside-dude's-keister news, but this one is simply too compelling to pass up. A company called Star Electric Cars France is the European subsidiary of Star Electric Cars U.S. They make golf carts that look like Hummers and Rolls-Royces and the like, and the French firm also sells electric bikes and skateboards and a fascinating contraption called the Snow Rider.

The company also claims to "design unique cars built for presidents, kings and princes around the world," and this would have to be one of them. Called the Aston Martin Super Sport, it's a coachbuilt, mid-engined Aston powered by a 5.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 putting out up to 950 horsepower. The bespoke bodywork is carbon fiber and sports scissor doors, an alcantara-coated interior and Recaro buckets. Naturally, production is... up in the air.

The price of this imaginary slice of supercar pie, €7.5 million ($9.53M U.S.) – a sum so impossible to comprehend it deserves its own episode of Lost. According to the car's developers, though, only eight will be made, with each color being unique. Word is that "sky blue is available immediately." Of course it is... Hat tip to Bawlz
