It does give me a feel of late 80s prototype Le Mans car though I think, can't put my finger on it.

It's ok Duncs, this one's just a Smart car.

Don't get me wrong, the smart car is awesome... of that I am certain.

Wow, don't think I've seen that before.

Remember when manufacturers used to make special models for homologation reasons...

Now it’s purely so rich collectors can say they have 1 of XXX sat in their heated garage..

Which makes it all the more confusing as to why they don’t make a piece of automotive art rather than the total horseshit they come out with nowadays.

At what point does a designer sit back, look at that monstrosity, and think "nailed it!"

I'd rather gouge out my eyeballs.

JWW used to be quite watchable, but his video titles got all clickbaity and he started to do manufacturer promos and looked very uncomfortable doing so.

I like it.

That's why I didn't link

I might give Reid's one a try in a bit though.




Saw the pics, thought of this;

I just watched the Carfection Rory Reid video and I quite like it now. It’s not meant to be a race car, it’s a luxury streamliner. The looks are growing on me too.

I had the same initial reaction as most, but I can’t think of a car that has grown on me quite so quickly as this has. The videos give a much better representation than the photos and I now think it looks cracking, particularly from the rear.

It looks awesome in the video. It's surprisingly small.

Definitely worth a look at Rory’s vid on it

Can I recommend that everyone talks about videos but DONT POST ANY FUCKING LINKS TO THEM. Yeah?

How rude.

For your potty mouth, I hope you enjoy this video about the Thpeedtail.

Click

Ooh, I don’t know if I could watch a Shmee one.
