You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

oooooo
I don't normally like the 'new style' 7s but that's nice. Is the track wider at the front than the back or is that just an
optical illusion?

Wonder why they closed off the brake disc and then fit an air intake to get the air back in again.

I don't normally like modern seven interpretations, but that one is stunning! The attention to detail is just

More of a Plymouth Prowler inspiration than a 7, but nice all the same.

Aerodynamics. I'd hope the wheels would end up being designed to suck the air outwards. (they certinaly arent at the mo)
To be fair, the whole car is form over function anyway.

Hmm. not bad. However, I might or might not have been in a certain vehicle body shop this week, and, I might or might not have seen a REALLY nice car
( or 2, or 3, or more) being lovingly crafted. Now then what EVER you do, DON'T tell speedyXJS about this one that I might or might not have
seen, but it most definately might have been based around a Jag running gear (and xk6 [plus a bit of magic] engine). Oh & I am probably sworn to
secrecy on this one so it most definately had NOTHING to do with this company.
The alfa romeo that I did see wasn't bad either. (Even if it was TOTALLY naked and in the process of receiving some extreme loving from the body
guru.)
Oh and I didn't do any photos as all I saw had to be deniable. Even the inflatable sheep.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Ive always thought the 7 would lend itself to a prowler look makeover, seeing it in the flesh it looks pretty stunning.

Looks a bit silly IMHO.
Maybe if I lived in California, but wouldn't want to be seen driving it around North London!

I love it. but then the classic Locost look has become a bit humdrum for me anyway.
It's a laugh that Cadilac did it. That's the least appropriate constituency for a Sevenesque there is. Imagine Bentley doing the same
thing. Do you figure your average Bentley driver would tolerate the wind buffeting for over 30 seconds? "Jeeves, put this thing back in the barn
and sell off my shares. Oh, and see to it that someone slaps the CEO, would you?"

On a serious note, my favorite detail is the wheels being thrust so far forward. There's something about two big spinning strips of rubber being
the first thing that you encounter on a car.....
