    Multiple Choice.
    If I had a Koenigsegg, the door styling would not bother me because:
    A) I would never want to get out of it
    B) I'm rich enough to replace dinged doors
    C) I will be exiting the car via the Jaws of Life.

    "Refer to it by anything other than a dihedral synchro-helix actuation system and Mr. von Koenigsegg, pictured above, will pummel you into linguistic submission with a carbon fiber reindeer femur."

    I believe I've declared to do the same thing previously on Jalopnik.

    That guy that opened and then closed the door did it a very arrogant and pretentious manner. Sort of like when you see someone drink wine or tea with their pinkie sticking out.

    @snapoversteer 'bout to get told: The so-called "Top Gear" wings existed since the 90's.

    As for the spoiler in the video, yes. They are new since the CCXR.

    See, when car guys get pissed at Ferrari, cool stuff happens. Ford GT40, Lamborghini Miura, all kinds of great things - and now this!

    Keep it up Ferrari! If it takes being dickheads to gearheads with money to generate more awesome rides, go with it! I'm sure someone will forgive you.

    And I don't care if they do. More supercars, more passionate little car builders, can't ever be a bad thing. #arash

    Arash O' Hubris.

    If you've got the 1 mil+, 'previously
    owned' Enzos seem to be readily available, with few-enough miles to insure that the new owner will need to pay for the first brake job. No doubt a lot less money than he's spent on this glorified kit-car project, and he still can't strut around rich-douchebag-style in a Ferrari-brand shirt, jacket, cap, shoes, etc. etc.

    Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself,
    And falls on th'other. . . ." #arash

    Pretty slick, though if I must criticize (this is Jalopnik, of course I must) the side profile shows a distinct lack of looks-fast-even-while-sitting-still. I can't put my finger on it, perhaps the front end is too bulky, but from the profile it just doesn't send my heart aflutter. Perhaps someone with more design expertise than I can figure it out.

    Looks great from every other angle. #arash

    @YankBoffin: I think it's the high fenders that weigh it down. It makes the cockpit sort of slumped down in the middle. #arash

    @weatherman: I agree that the fender line is too bulky. Also that 'edge' look that is all the fad right now adds to the architectural feel of the fenders. Fast cars should look like they were shaped by the wind, not a mason's trowel. #arash
