OV9

It looks great ...for a £100,000 car I'd say.
Pretty vanilla for a million quid but usually cars with simpler clean lines end up dating the best so in 20 years it may be drop dead gorgeous

Glorious, I wonder if the underwhelming silver paint is deliberate to hide some of the Wow factor for the actual launch.

Put the glass down @Sundayjumper - he didn’t really mean that.

It’s 1100kg, that’s very very cool.

I’ll take mine in midnight blue with orange seat centres and suede luggage.

Dave!

I’m sure it’ll be fantastic to drive, but I can’t help but think it looks a bit like a fat Tommy Kaira ZZS.

I consider it a bit of a wasted opportunity.

The bodywork has obviously just been treated as just a covering to drape over the amazing engine, but you have multi-million pound price tags for all new carbon fibre construction tubs and bodies - take advantage of that and make some fucking effort to create something that looks good! It's not as though people wouldn't pay a few hundred grand more to cover the cost of getting a styling house involved.

You cvnt, that mind worm has ducked it now

Dave!

Are you looking at a different car than me? I think it's probably the best looking intended-for-production road car released in the last 40+ years!

I think it's lovely. Clean, pretty, low and looks light. It'll be practical too. A better colour than silver (soz SJ) would be good.

Not that any of this matters - it won't be finished and there'll be the next t-xx concept to talk about soon.

^ Probably that. Or they'll just sell the few prototypes that they've made and move onto the next one.

My first thought was modellista caserta - it's got a late 90s Japanese vibe.

Don't know about that, I'd say it's a far stronger bet than say Valkyrie or pretty much any other small manufacturer.

He said the T50 is sold out and 50 of these are spoken for, sounds pretty likely to me.

Hehe - Dan did a funny.

I don't really get his weird obsession with that weird overbite look and not having front splitters.
People like splitters - splitters are cool. The F1 LM was a definite improvement on the normal F1

30 years to design a car and it doesn't look better than the original.

We get it, you don't like him

the guys a genius, he came up with the McLaren F1 ffs!

It just gets on my nerves how smug and condescending he is - all this "I don't care about top speeds" (after making a car famous for being the fastest car, and "this is a better way to build cars" (after not actually making any T25 cars and completely missing the evolution to electric small cars and hastily producing the T27 design.).

I want him to focus his brilliant talent on actually finishing something.

T50 looks very mk3 mr2 from that angle
