The Godsil Manhattan is inspired by the Art Deco movement of the early 20th century, though that should only make one think of early Fords and Chryslers in terms of style. As far as driving experience is concerned, the vehicle packs a 13-liter V16 engine that should pump out somewhere in the range of 1,000 horsepower.
Though the Godsil Manhattan is a coupe, it doesn't carry the connotations that coupes usually do. Power notwithstanding, the Manhattan is extremely long and wide, with a 134-inch wheelbase that's longer than even the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe. Further, four passengers can fit inside the two door vehicle comfortably. That wide stance and capacity cuts down on agility, signalling that the vehicle is all about turning heads rather than turning corners.
