At first i like it but the more i look at it the more i don't. To be honest i rarely find cars ugly. :(
Its like a Bentley in the back and a wanna-be 50/60's racer in the front. Meh...

The body is carbon fiber, the whole thing weighs something like 1,800lbs.

So close to perfection, but just not quite there.

It actually reminds me a lot of the Panoz Esperante in the front. Also, it kind of looks like Bentley tail lights.

Now that you mention the Panoz, I definitely see it. And yeah, the tails look like the old school classy...

At first, I thought it was modded Shelby Cobra...

Not hating it... but kinda wish they made headlights & taillights more modern design

The classic aesthetic is the point of what they are doing. Their previous model was literally built on a Triumph TR6. This Coupe is meant to capture these classic details while running on modern components and composites.

IC...

Btw do you have any photos of interior?

The sharp lines on the hood and grille opening throw the design out of balance for me. There are so many curves on the car, and then that just breaks them all up.

Good call. I see that hard leading edge and agree, it could use a softer detail there. Keen eye! :w00t:
