I wonder what engine their 5.0 is based upon. The S7 was based on a FMC engine, but was also a new engine and used no FMC components . . if i remember correctly.

They tried to out-LED the R8 in the head & tail light department. Somewhat awkward depending on viewing angle. Can't tell if I like it or not. Definitely doesn't look good in yellow, IMO. Maybe in a darker color.

I notice that about a lot of modern designs (from the '90s onward); some cars look really good from some angles but crappy from others. I guess that what makes a timeless,classic design-- it looks good from any angle (GT40, '65 Mustang, Miura, Ferrari 365 GTB, '63-67 Stingray, etc)
