Interesting new mid-engine supercar

[Edited on 24-3-05 by locost_bryan]

Too "show-car". If they shortened the nose, a lot, and got rid of the, um, whatever those big front appendages are, then, maybe.

whats with all the ugly cars being launched recently, this definatly isn't the worst of them, but I cant possibly see any aerodynamic benifits to justify such an ugly front end.

I like it.

Good to see someone prepared to design something a bit different.

There's a little bit of Lotus Elise 340r and Ferrari Enzo (front) in it.

Geoff.

I think it looks a lot like many of the enzo consept schetches that are out and about.

Good engine choice!

If any of the Kiwis here could blag me a Transaxle please I'd be very grateful!

Cheers,

It's good to see a tribute made to Denny Hulme, he was a good bloke.

It's painted in his colour, but I think that he would have preferred something a little less "concept car-ish". The front and rear mud gaurds are so completely different in style, it looks like it was designed by a commitee, or perhaps they were trying to incorporate as many ideas as possible.

It will probably go quite well though.

I'll ask them about the trans James.

Two words.
Humps speed.

imo that looks awesome. its so out there but still takes design cues from other cars

It's kinda gratuitous that they have the exposed front suspension bits. Cool perhaps, but can't help the aero. Sorta like the exposed members on the Ariel. They say it's a no holds barred performance machine, but those uncovered bits have to push air.

If they bring it to market looking like that they're a balsy bunch, cause right now it looks like a show car - one that's gonna snag that low-hanging nose once it enters the real world.

Pure aesthetics though? I'll give it an A-

Just realised my former posting above could be seen as having a smutty indeuendo. It wasnt intended. With this tense, prewar build-up I was not intending to draw stir faecies Sorry to all those I may have offended.
