If I were to pay $280000 for a car, then apart from being fast it would also have to be good looking. Adn this just isn't it

yeah...the Volvo engine is only used in the prototype.
With an MTM tuned Audi engine, the orca free willy will reach 360km/h

I think it would look a lot better with fatter and larger tires all around. The front looks okay to me, but the back...is a lost cause. I wonder how it handles.

Looks good to me, but the front bumper should be a little more rounded and not so jagged at the bottom!

I don't know if you remember the prototype of the Bugatti EB110, not the definitive shape but the one that was used to develop the car, it was very similar to this.

the shape is a lil strange, but the back end reminds me a porsche gt1, the front end ts too pointy but its like a bugatti eb110, and the lambo doors, i like this cars in fact i love that this is a SUPERCAR, cuz' it is a supercar, and has an inline 5, shit fuel economy on a supercar!!! and its dam fast, i would definitely buy this one instead of a 360 or a gallardo

I think that there are faar too many straight lines, and I agree that the tires look very skinny.

It looks too boxy and almost incomplete. Those headlights looks like they were just shoved on there at the last minute.
This is what happens when you develop a car with engineers involvement only IMHO Throw in a couple hairdressers into the development team and you might end up with something that looks decent and goes like phuck too
