    As an artist, wouldn't Jason Castriota's works become more valued after his death? And he'd be remembered as the guy who designed the prettiest insect.


    I say, buy one, and kill him.


    ---


    Now, seriously, I think the car looks alright. It's got some awesome points, like the wings, the doors, and the aggression and angles which is just so Bertone. I'm staring at a pic of the P4/5 right now, which is so athletic, lean and curvaceous, pure Pininfarina. I laud him for switching to such a radically different design philosophy and doing pretty damn well. However, I do think the proportions look weird from the front 3/4 view, kind of like a halfway house between a conventional coupe and a shooting brake, but without any of the functionality of a shooting brake.


    Overall, I'd say a decent design, and surely he's gonna sell it all out, if they go ahead with their production plans. ZR1 platform is awesome, exclusivity is, well, exclusive and sought after by those super-rich.

    Go take a look at that '47 Ferrari for a minute, and then come back in and try to say something positive about this horror. Face it: human beings already know what's beautiful.


    Classic cars are beautiful because the designers were only concerned with beauty, not trying for "modernity" or "expression" or other bollocks du jour. This thing is trying not to look "new" so hard that it's deliberately ugly.


    Bad news Bertone: if I want deliberately ugly, I can buy a Subaru.

    it's a marvel of modern design.

    By that token, would a X6 also be considered a marvel of modern design? If so, I quit.

    With all of the Russian billionaires, I think this is a possibility.
    I like it, a lot.


    Lose the Lamborghini doors though. I think it would look better with gullwings.
