From the A-pillar forward, the car looks alright, rather like a modern interpretation of the 1957 250 Testarossa, but as you head towards the rear from there all hell breaks loose. The rear haunches are far, FAR too large and make the 18 inch wheels it appears to be wearing look lost in the wheel arches. The rear end is kind of dumpy and fat by comparison with the reasonably taught front end. If Zagato had managed to lower the rear haunches a bit or increase the rear wheel well size and make the appropriate increase in wheel diameter, then it'd probably look quite a lot better. Alternately, the same effect could've been achieved by creating a dropping window line from the front to the rear of the door. As it is, the front fenders appear to run straight into the windowsills and create a sort of artificially chubby and slab-sided look to what should be a very voluptuous car.
