It reminds me very much of 50's futuristic concepts.

Rear is quite Regera esque. Not a huge fan of the curb appeal, but the technology that is incorporated is pretty brilliant. Although, i feel that with the extreme effort to make it as aerodynamic as possible, it should be able to go faster than the already achieved 250mph barrier.

But different wheels front/back looks absurd on all of the clapped jdm RHD out cars here. It looks just as absurd on this car.

Very nice and sexy ... but not fan of the front wheel ..

Well, 106 of them .. ~ $3.5M ... the 1.7M Senna is somewhat affordable now, and the $400K 720S seems like bargain .. lol

Probably because the fundamental concepts and laws of working and managing airflow at high speeds (for a car) have not changed since the 50s :poosie:

Likely the same issues arise as the Bugatti Chiron - tire technology has to catch up to these insane speeds (500kph).

The 720s is the biggest bargain on the market. I wish I could get my budget up there.

The wheels appear to be the same, the fronts just have turbo fan-esc covers
