it looks good, but I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that there isn't a v8 under there

Haha, totally true. For me that's a huge part of the allure. Hell, I think it wouldn't look out of place on Star Trek, either!

Once u see it, it cant be unseen
You're right! Looks like a 991 with some sort of helmet.

God.....I luv this car....If I ever get to own one(tighton finances), I will miss my car's power but damn....this car looks so good.....and besides, it has 4 seats(at least something to sit on).....win win situation for me and my family/friends. I dont think anything with 4 seats will ever look this good on the road.

Its kind of a toss-up for me between this and the R8, but the R8 is all about performance and this car seems to be about functionality and efficiency.

I bet this car is more fun to drive. Real world usable performance. You'll be able to use this car to a higher percentage of it's full capabilities vs. an R8. And believe it or not, when compared to R8 V8 the numbers are quite similar.

This will also be a much more rare car than the R8.

Sick!!!

Btw it's Protonic Blue.

Man I am dying to see one in person.

And Simi Valley of all places, that's the outskirts of nowhere! Glad they are popping up. Hoping to see more and more of them, relatively speaking since it'll be such a rare car.
