Youabian Puma is a $1.1-million 'pleasure vehicle'

There is no proper way to describe just how big this car is. Not big in terms of its importance here at the LA Auto Show – we're talking about sheer size. This weird-looking, four-seat convertible is a full 242 inches long, 93 inches wide and 72 inches tall, riding on a 163.5-inch wheelbase. In other words, it's significantly larger than a Bentley Mulsanne. It rides on 20-inch chrome wheels wrapped in 44-inch tires. And man, is it ugly. (Check out those last-generation Buick Enclave taillamps. And the not-exactly matching Volvo headlamps, too.)

It is significantly larger than a Bentley Mulsanne.

According to the Los Angeles-based manufacturer, the Puma was "conceptualized for those individuals who dare to be different than the ordinary. Those who go a step beyond achieving and dreaming the best that they can be." Cue "Eye of the Tiger." The car's creator even told Autoblog that he does not consider it to be a roadster, convertible, SUV, or anything else – it is simply a "pleasure vehicle."

Power comes from a 7.0-liter V8 (a version of GM's LS7), putting out 505 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. That apparently allows the Puma to accelerate to 60 miles per hour in 5.9 seconds, and it will reportedly return 14 miles per gallon in the city and 22 mpg highway. It rides on an aluminum and steel chassis, with a body – and what a body! – made of aluminum and fiberglass composites.

Inside, the Puma is loaded to the gills with creature comforts, with a cabin that's somehow less ostentatious than the car's exterior. It even has goodies like Bluetooth, voice-activated navigation, Sirius XM satellite radio, xenon headlamps and more. The interior colors can also be fully customized to the buyer's specific desires, and the interior – folding hardtop included – is basically ripped straight out of a Volvo C70.

But here's the best part. The Puma costs – wait for it – $1.1 million. Because, you know, a Veyron is simply way too pedestrian. Head over to the Puma's website for more information, and seriously, get a load of this thing for yourself in the gallery above.

Seriously entertaining. Thanks for the post Timpo!

Front end kinda looks like a baja truck ran over a civic.

If I were drunk and saw some hot chicks cruising it on the beach, I would probably think its cool :lawl:

$1 million for a car with a fucked up Cavalier front end and a dash that looks like it was ripped out of a Cobalt.

:heckno:

This company didn't even bother with their logo design, let alone the car's aesthetic.

Of course, for $1 million you couldn't buy anything more exclusive.

60 miles per hour in 5.9 seconds

for 1.1 million you'd think you'd get tail lights that weren't literally ripped off a buick and and a bespoke interior. hopefully no one is dumb enough to feed this retarded company.

LOL it's so ugly!

i need my fail button back please...

lol i actually don't mind him posting these sort of threads. Shows just what sort of cars people out there think others will buy.

Pleasure vehicle?

Well it does look like a dildo

Maybe i'll take my $5000 datsun to the LA autoshow next year and put some monster truck wheels on and sell it for 2 million to those that wants to be exclusive...
