Yet another new supercar...

[Drive4Ever]

hm...the front looks a lot like one of the cars from a DVD
and wow, for a car w/ that size, its light :shock:

[jorge]

i also think it looks nice, very much like the mosler MT900

[RC45]

Very clean and tidy looking. I like the look of that car a lot. The lights are an excellent and proven race car design and location.. probably also chosen so that they will be street legal in various countries around the world with very strict height requirments for head lights.

I laaak ut... I laaak ut a lut...

Thanks RC. Hmmm. The look might grown on me, but it is a tad bit derivative, and perhaps a little guilty of a bit too much plagarism. Oh well. We'll see.

[jorge]

thanks for the link, the brochure is very interesting

I like those little niggles that they added, such as the air intake for the front brakes, and the dip in the roof (that's for aerodynamic purposes) which I expect to be seeing a lot in future cars of this type.

It's ok I guess. Nothing too fancy, but nothing plain either. Good if you get one now, but shapes like that get old quickly.

[number77]

can you say Mosler.
i do give them credit for designing a carbon fiber car. for those that know the process, its not easy



edit: i see someone already mentioned it looking like a Mosler, i'll leave the pics though

[dons5]

holy talk about typical supercar looks, the mosler, mac f1, saleen s7, jaguar xj-15 or what its called and this have such typical un original looks, unlike to a certain extent the Koenegsegg and Murcielago (which does look more typcial then the Diablo) but especially the Zonda and Enzo, and oh what a coincedence the Zonda and Enzo are by far the most sexy and popular, hmm.
but I have to admit the Mac was made in 93 or around then so u cannot blame them for the looks, so the Mac is an original design

[corvette97]

i kinda think looks like a koenigsegg in the firs post of this topic (dont kill me)

[Tomerville]

I think its too much Saleen S7/Mosler MT as others suggested...just not original styling enough.

[sads]

LOVE IT
I heard about this car a while ago on some local sites, I just hope that this car can make production unlike alot of other localy produced super cars

[bmagni]

imo looks a lot like the edonis..
dont like it that much
