That really couldn't be described as an attractive car could it :?

Function over form and all that, but....

I thought the opposite.

I really like its look, especially when the air brake disappears :thumbsup

Maybe even a hint of XJ220 in profile...

Now I can justify saving up for one.

Or a couple of you on here could probably afford to buy the only one available now for $2.3M, 1\499.

I think it looks really good. Much more attractive than the Enzo and certainly way nicer than the Macca P1 which is pretty hideous.

Incidentally, how do you all think the Alonso/Kimi battle will pan out this season? Although a big Iceman fan I reckon Alonso will have the edge, but I have read some people comment that the new high torque engines may particularly suit Kimi's driving style, so who knows...I fully expect toys out of pram from Alonso if Kimi starts to get the better of him :-)

It's a whole new thing. Just saying. I wanted to see some real world acceleration and it's pretty hard to judge unless you happen to have driven something else on that circuit. Still, 0-125 in 6-ish seconds is quite fast :-)
