Pointless safety regulations ensure that these cars fail to be all that they can be. With a 9 pound drive shaft and all sorts of carbon fiber structural elements, this thing should weigh 2,500 LBS instead of 3,500. Where's the extra 1,000 LBS? I don't know - but I do know that it's too much.
Sports cars should be light. Not Collin Chapman-light (they should be sturdy in my opinion), but light. L I G H T.
3,500 pounds is heavy.
I really like this car, even if the retro trend is absurd - I'm a modernist - but not at nearly 2 tons.
What would really make me happy is to see this thing inspire a Funny Car body for an NHRA team. Th proportions are almost there. Though, the old SLR was even more so.
@lilwillie hides autos in the attic: I'm surprised that wasn't the first comment.
And all out in the open too. Europeans really do have a much more relaxed view of sex.
