This sense of generic supercar appearance is why we have coachbuilders. I mean, the Mantide is definitely not pedestrian (although it's not desperately pretty either)
I like it. Sure, its bland and looks like Toyota made an attempt at a supercar. However, that's the amazing part. It is exactly what I would draw in the margins of my notes in high school. Sort of a combination of many great supercars into one, boring body.
Why is this a good thing? You don't get noticed. Leave the Ferraris and Lambos to guys who have to compensate. Give me this alcoholic supercar so I can go 110 mph on the interstate and not be noticed.
Them's some damn fine louvers. I had a set just like that on my Camaro. My sister said they really kept that there sun out here eyes when we were in the back seat.
@Flathead Smith: Yeah, also this is apparently "the only car in the world". Of course, with the qualifier that the only car in the world happens to be made with materials from aeronautical technology.
Be nice if they also hired a PR flack that can write English.
Haha, ethanol, what a joke. I have actually came up with an alternate fuel which increases power by 500%. The ingredients are simple. Buffalo skin, Polar bear tears and shark fins. You will be doing your part to save the environment.

Red blooded American on the inside. I like.
And Ben, I've never heard of 510hp being referred to as "sad".

Something along the lines of "the horribly underpowered 510hp 8.3L Viper V-10 . . ."
