    The thought behind the design is truly amazing.

      @No-vm7go 3 роки тому

      Is this kind of talent a gift or curse? Perfectionism is a double-edged sword (and doesn't *truly* exist, outside of the *concept* of perfection, BTW). This car is a perfect example (no pun intended, but the pun is not a coincidence, either) of this self-canceling commitment to perfection in *both* areas of performance and aesthetics. This car was clearly an attempt to have one's cake and eat it too, but ultimately, it will only end up as a show car that no one really wants to drive because of the destructive effects of driving an extremely expensive one-off high performance vehicle in a high performance manner. Personally, I think TOO MUCH emphasis was put into aesthetics, but I'm a function-over-form guy. I just can't justify form-over-function, especially to this degree. You can rationalize anything you want, but rationalization is not justification; it's just rationalization.

    Nice front bumper tuck. This looks superior and cleaner to even a smoothy bumper that does not fit as tightly to the body from a side view angle like this. I wonder if this would be an example of a bumper that is flipped upside down? 0:30
    I think this front shot would have looked even better with the V emblem on the hood between the lights, to fill that space.
