That looks great!

Have to be careful you don't burn your face on the exhaust though!

Porn! Very nice indeed. I assume this is purely a design exercise. Interesting use of car name - is this a future MK?

Shame the arches will need to be covered for IVA.

I think a bit of willy juice just came out. WOW!!!!!

The front end while looking rather nice I would think promotes some front end lift at speed,also what would be in the wing shape addition behind the front wheel boxer engine perhaps?

Looks like a fuel filler cap on the top of it. Odd place to put a fuel tank.
Looks nice (except for the "wing" bits) but I suspect putting arches on it would ruin the lines.

Pretty impressive graphics as well, I thought they were photos

That's reminiscent of a Gurney Eagle

All computer graphics, even the outside shots.

I love it but think the bonnet line might be too low to fit a modern 16 valve so a flat four might work well with the sponsons for cylinder head instead of fuel tanks.

It looks awesome because it's all out of proportion. How big are those wheels? I don't think the vehicle would even turn with those wheels fitted......

Not kidding, feet are inside the engine, unless you get you legs amputated it's not going to work!

I would rather see a 2 seat version of this

Why worse than the indy in white next to it?

Same for the engine height, if you steal some of the scoop you will have slightly more room than the indy for a tall engine by the look of things.

Agree completely about the wheels, though with the right diff and a high torque engine it's only going to mean a crap turning circle (same as an awful lot of hot rods) and worst handling on the twisties - not an issue to a lot of people.
