It looks too much like the MP4-12C, especially from the side. It's like it has the extreme looks of a high end supercar, yet it doesn't.
But that lighting it is in is terrible, I need to see it in better lighting before I make an opinion on it.

This will get interesting.
One day I want to visit the Paris show, not because I'm in the market for any of the badass stuff that gets unveiled, but simply to be there and say "I saw it." |

Hopefully the production version will look a bit less crazy.

I think P1 stands for pole 1 (pole positio #1) have you seen the top gear episode where they tested the MP4 Vs the Ferrari.. Then the stig ripped it through the track.. Only thing faster was the aerial atom.. But to achieve this, all the technology drivers aid was in place.. But the numbers kills all cars out there

It reminds me a lot of the old F1, which I loved. I'm assuming it won't have a center mounted driver seat though.

That front end kinda reminds me of a manta ray.
I can't imagine any toning down on the production version. If it's their new hypercar, form will follow function. |

I hope the actual car looks every bit as crazy as this concept.

Is it pointless to hope it will come with a stick and three paddles?

Fortunately their previous model came with a proper shift lever. |
