I'm starting to warm to this car a little. I still like the SLR better but this is looking ok to me at this point. And the SLR does sounds tons better..like a **** spitfire!
One thing did just occur to me..what happens when you are in an accident say and roll the car onto the roof how do you get out of this thing? I realize you could break a window but say that's not an option.

It's a beautiful car indeed.

Its a nice modern interpretation off the original "gullwings" of the 50's. I like it!
The wheels are sexy too.
The windows should retract, if not, then the can opener will be an expensive option on the Build sheet........

Looks goo though I like the SLR's front a tad better this one's grille opening looks a Little TVR Cerbera-ish to me. Definately don't like the exhaust note on it http://www.motortrend.com/av/feature...lap/index.html
Sounds like a case of flatulence to me. Or a seawiz firing.

I remember reading something about the rollover thing while it was still in pre-production, but I don't remember where. If I find it I'll try to post it up, but I wouldn't hold my breathe.
If memory serves I want to say something about break-away hinges... but don't quote me on that.

Luckily I was kinda right. I'm not sure how much I would trust explosives 10 years down the road, though. I also would be extremely disappointed if it required a button like shown in the video. "Daddy what does this button do...?"

While very nice, and love the color combo, I oddly find it slightly bland overall, gull wing doors excepted of course. Don't get me wrong, a very good looking car, but just somehow comes off a bit too safe in the end, even given that the original was a hardly a voluptuous piece either.
Still, would give my right one to have one as I'm sure its a beast on the road.
