Decrease the wheel well size a little bit, and put some 17" or 18" rims instead. That would be heaven.
Thinking like that is what has given us the lame-ass football shaped cars we have now. Personally I'd rather die rolling in this gorgeous P1800 than survive in a Camry. :lol:Fantastic design, don't quite like the giant rims though and wonder if those A- and C- pillars hold up to a rollover?

Pedestrian safety and aerodynamics are a big part of it. I won't even start on "pedestrian safety" influencing car design. But side-impact and rollover requirements are why we see so few true hardtops anymore, or cars with minimal roof pillars like the P1800. Cars without a nice big B-pillar generally don't do much of a job protecting the driver.I thought ugly cars were the result of pedestrian safety concerns and aerodynamic design for improved fuel economy. Cover the cars in spikes for all I care, but the frame should at least be functional.
Certainly. I'm just talking about factory vehicles.Not necessarily, a roll-cage can be installed with minimal impact on the overall shape of the car.

How much of a difference do you really think it made? I'd love to see some data on 'pedestrian safe' cars actually reducing injuries. Because when it comes down to it, you're still getting hit by a fucking car. It's not going to end well no matter what.Tell me that again after you survive because you were hit by the more pedestrian-safe car. I could have been hit by either a Lada or a Renault 19, and I sure as hell am glad it was the Renault.

But hey, I just hate automotive regulations in general.
Why didn't he fit a Koenigsegg CCXR engine instead?
Because that would just be silly.
