...well, at least I never heard of the Tramontana. It does qualify for insane though and not just because of the looks. Something like an Ariel Atom pushed by a 720bhp twin turbo V12. Except it's not at all like an Ariel, it has a full carbon fiber chassis (and "bodywork" naturally) and given the 2700lbs weight, I'm guessing that's a Mercedes V12.

And for your consideration, the following from a.d.Tramontana:
"Chassis Number: Each unit of the Tramontana will be differentiated with an engraved
verse in the chassis of a poem written by Carme Pagès, Catalan poet, that refers to the wind tramontana."
That must make the service appointment call amusing: "thank you sir, and may I have your serial number please..."
Anyway, we love to promote irrational insanity so, enjoy the very bombastically over produced clips and pictures.
So, what exactly DOES it cost to license a U2 song these days...?
