What is that inside the hole? I thought it was just some sort of strange testing vent, but it looks like a nut or some sort of adjustment point for something?

Exactly, they're on the roof but not on the hood. That's why I said "Hopefully it's just either covered up on the hood, or it isn't a production hood." because otherwise "they would be pointless and it would look silly."

Probably some type of adjustment that's probably why there is no BMW style vent there, and shows that the vent is most probably cosmetic and not functional on the prototype and concept models

I was refering to what madfast said about "FR-S style hood line much more visible", was he referencing the slope of the hood rather than the actual lines? It was sort of confusing, now that I re-read it I think I know what he meant.

While I share your sentiment about the hood, the "lines" on the roof aren't there for continuity, they serve a purpose.

Head lights look okay, pref them with led in them.

Rear lights are stupid!

Rear bumper looks good, front bumper looks okay i guess

Slide · 10-13-2011, 06:04 PM

Anyone able to tell pcd of these wheels?

Are they 17?

ichitaka05 · 10-13-2011, 06:05 PM

Hm... so Gazoo Racing is doing the race just like LFA. Wow~ that's a news to me.

Well, it's good thing for us, so we can kinda figure out lap time & some what of spec we can expect from it (sort of).

fbloume · 10-13-2011, 06:07 PM

I really love this car
if the final version is a copy of the one it will be mine
the tailwing may be a little too big but it sticks to the deseign of this sport car
it looks like an evolution of rear tail of the concept of Geneva and frankfurt

What's with the circle hole in the front fender, isn't that were a slit was for cooling in the concepts, they should've just left it there

I do agree with you that the shape of the rear window and the boot cover suggest this is a hatch. If it has a trunk, the opening is darn small to be useful in anyway to store your track tires/gears.

That said, the Wing shown here may not be the permanent feature of the car, so theoretically it can have a trunk. We just need to wait for Nov 30 to find out.

That is true but either Scion or Subaru may offer this wing as an oem accessory so it would have to open correctly. It is still open to discussion.
