its like someone looked at Chris Bangles work and said ah yes I like that and then mixed it with an anus to get this steaming pile of shit. If I owned this I would hope it crashed as it would probably look better. I saw this a year ago in Mod L&E and laughed, but this just makes me angry. My Volvo cuts the air better then this shit box.

Now really this thing is beyond ugly, good thing it's so fast that bystanders won't have to look at it for too long.
It looks like a really really fat man sat on the bonnet for too long and left some troughs, like a well worn couch.

Ha, aerodynamic doesn't always mean pretty guys. Although I like the bit about it scaring the air out of it's way. Damn that car is ugly ... but it has pushrods ... I'm so conflicted images/smilies/tongue.gif.

Omg, what IS that!

That has got to be competing with the Aztec for ugliest car ever, wait, no, I think this is definitely winning, but with the performance figures, we'll call it even images/smilies/biggrin.gif

The things I'd rather have than this include penis warts.

Because they'd look prettier.

maybe not, but since all seriously fast cars are pretty, we (by we I mean me) figure that pretty = fast.

By that logic this thing will have a topspeed of 4 mph.

I'm not saying it's the best car to look at ever, but it is without a doubt pretty.

I think it basically breaks down like this:

The shape is rather simple, somewhat Audi TT-ish (i know i know, thats breaking it down REALLY far)

But standing next to one (and I have, they have one on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum here in L.A.), the thing has the MEANEST presence I've ever experienced with a car. Just the size of it, and the knowing how much concentrated awesome is within your reach is enough to make you crap your pants images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

This car just looks too...thin, like its made out of rice paper...not big, solid, and "crafted" like the Veyron.
