This car is probably 600lbs lighter maybe more.
Good comparison for perspective. However, I would think the Verde would weight closer to the Z06, as the hybrid powertrain has "energy recycling capabilities", presumably adding to weight. How much, is anyone's guess, as the specifics haven't been released on the powertrain's weight.

The first powertrain option will be the recently released, 400hp HP2g Hybrid 100 mpge engine that runs on E85 fuel, combined with its own recharge energy.
However, I don't think it will have any trouble topping 200mph with it's other two engine choices...

The second powertrain option will appeal to Ford aficionados. Working with Roush Industries, Revenge will work on releasing the RSC Ford power train Supercar, featuring the entire Roush high performance family of engine combinations.
The third option will appeal to the GM performance enthusiasts. Pratt Miller Engineering will assist Revenge to produce the RSC GM-ZR1 mid-engine power train that will deliver 638hp.

True the hybrid setup will increase weight, but a LS9 in it or a Katech cam'd LS7 would keep the weight to a minimum.

I think the car's design/shape is amazing... and that's rare for a "kit" car. I wonder if that's Dodge's Snakeskin Green or a custom color like HoK Limetime.

Looks pretty damn good, I think. However, I feel the visibility over the hood leaves something to be desired...

The closest they've released is a visual and a design sketch...

http://www.revengedesignsinc.com/weekly_news.html

Paragraph on the right vaguely explains the interior...

Revenge signature leather and carbon-fiber, race bred interior, including illuminated instrumentation, premium sound and navigation system.
At least it's supposed to have a 6mt as an option...
