The Tramontana R

This looks like it could be a Batmobile prototype. From Autoblog:

The R is an evolved version of the standard open-wheel two-seater, packing a Mercedes-sourced 5.5-liter V12 available in either naturally aspirated, 550 hp guise or a twin-turbocharged 760 hp version that dolls out an astonishing 811 lb-ft of torque. The Group claims a 0-100 kph (62mph) time of 3.6 seconds and a 10.15-second run to 200 kph (124mph).

The car weighs just 2,777 pounds, is 192 inches from nose to tail,  82 inches wide and 51 inches tall, and has a almost perfect weight distribution of 50:50 left to right and 42:58 front to rear.

The car of course is a limited production run, with only 12 cars made per year, and an incredible price tag of $495,000.
