I am so glad that it's not a mobile phone.

And it is called teh 75th Birdcage so far.

what the fuck is it?!!? Motorola wtf?

1500kg + 700+hp

Wild... but I like it. :) It's very appealing in a modern way.

i kinda like it as well. very streamlined and sleek design. hope Maserati decides to produce it :D

Unusual, but I actually like it. Too bad this is about as far as the car will make it. No one would put that into producion!

Which is a shame, isn't it?

It's the glasshouse cockpit that's going to prevent that car from going into production... unless they use some sort of brand new, super material that is both see-through, very lightweight, AND can hold the car up in case it flips over.

Which is highly unlikely really. :)

1500Kg kinda ruins the whole point of the original birdcage masers which were built that way to be lightweight

the car looks ok ... i guess ....... i tought you posted pictures of bird cages ..:?

wtf .... now they've started making aerodynamic cell phones .......

Interesting concept,but i doubt that it will be produced.... :|

I do like the car a lot, but I like how they managed to make such a radical car. It looks great, and dammn who would ever imagine a car that opens up that way?

BTW where did you get the pic in your sig from?

lexan or whatever the stuff is called, they use it among others for visors for racing helmets...if thick enough it's bullet proof i believe..

Birdcage? Why? Because you have few tubes on the dash?
In comparison the original was a real birdcage
