A mate from work is being sent to the geneva motorshow next thursday all in the name of benchmarking!! All he has to do is take loads of pictures of cars, ill get him to take some of the tramontane.

I can tell you its named after a mediterranian wind!

Their marketting approach seems like it was lifted from Mercedes/Ferrari. The also play games with partial shots, noting the exclusivity of it. I got a sense of a little snobbishness Wouldn't surprise me if, somewhere on the site, is a line about "adding one to your 'collection' ". I don't care for that word, "collection," a bit too pretentious for me. And to really drive that point home, I'm guessing they'll ask well over $100K for it.

See how much I read into things?

BTW, did you see how *massive* the frame is? Looks like 2" x 3" square-section to me...

I just love the first picture under "photos".
They look like four dentists in a workshop, although t-shirt under and old shoes separates them from their brand new white coats.

Look at those taillights, from eurospares ?
Would be exclusive though as noone sensible will buy it ...

Hate to rain on someones parade, but geeez, that design is butt ugly and not thought through

Cheers

It's a good job they put red lights on the back. I wasn't sure which way round it should go. It looks out of proportion and clumsy for a 2 seater.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I like it for some reason I cant understand- Nothing much is right about it -but---------
It does look much better with the flat fenders as opposed to the wrap around ones.
I am considering doing similar for the front wings of my car- except in polished stainless.

Dentist convention?

Never trust a man who puts his tool in your mouth I say. Look at the third picture on here, is it an optical illusion or 4 wheel steering?

Well put Pete.....I looked at at least 4 pics before I could figure front or back.

Very odd looking, but nicely done......if that makes sense...

From the front, Looks like a coffin with wings. Seems like with all the wings that this thing could actually take flight

Maybe they are bow-planes.....Is this some sort of new German Submarine?

Price for the car was about 350 000 pounds or something, silly.

The thing I find fascinating is all the twisted RHS in the chassis. I wonder what inspired that, perhaps the burnt out ruin of a steel-framed shed?
I tend towards violentblue's description; it looks like it should be semi-mat brown with steam rising slowly from it.





Cheers, Rorty.
