awesome looking motor

They have increased the ride height since that car was at Le Mans - at that stage it had fag paper size clearance around the rear arches. Amazing looking car - I want one

Big improvement to the front end to previous models.
Exhausts are strange though.

hmmmm...

Maybe gone a little too far on that one...

It's a little 'too' quirky for my taste (and i normally love TVR's)

what's that gay little spoiler all about ?

Exhausts are interesting.. wouldn't you run the risk of back pressure at speed ?

actually with them side on to the airflow like that it looks like they might get a sucking effect at speed, bernouli effect and all that. interesting. not that I know anything about exhausts.

The exhausts are that way because of aerodynamics I think - I did hear the reason but can't remember what it was!

The whole car has been designed to provide great aero performance as it is primarily intended as a track tool. I didn't think the spoiler was "gay" personally, neat way to see through an essential bit of kit for keeping the car on the ground was my view - maybe that says something about me
