I'm sure it'll be fast, but they have to work its looks. They need to hire some italians for that job.

Reminds me a bit of the 2nd-generation Acura NSX concept from a long time ago (the rear end, especially - those fenders).

It has interesting features but I absolutely hate the black exposed carbon bits on the side. Also, from the side it looks like the roof line is too truncated in the back. Maybe some type of spoiler could help the back end too.

Overall its awesome but it just needs a few tweaks, hopefully they will work a little more on it before releasing what the production version looks like.

side note: it kinda reminds me of an ASL Garaiya

Not to sure about that silly grin that it has. But it has potential. And i agree with TabriS2k, it looks remarkably similar to the Garaiya.

It's got a lotta weird, disjointed, unrelated lines all over the place. It ain't ugly, but it doesn't look good either.

Just waiting for the specs on this thing. I have a feeling we'll have a new nurburgring production car record.
