Are they the thinnest spoked wheels ever?
Can't recall seeing any thinner, but I expect someone else can find some.

Might well be, apparently no heavier than carbon wheels.

The 458 forged wheels always struck me how slender they were.0

there's been far thinner!

How about these then?

Hang on - you said thickest yeah?

Like the road version but for a track car the Aston Valkyrie seems a far more special way to spend £3m.

Ok how about the smallest front facing surface area / diameter ratio?

Um, other than Sbarro....

Most exciting video evah!

Said nobody

Arse area still looks stoopid with huge fan and the rear end looks really high in general compared to the front.

Steering “wheel” is also stoopid.

Ummm yeah, those looks are more challenging than I expected. Maybe it's better IRL...

It doesn't look good from that side angle - the front overhang is like a platypus.

It looks like a super car from the 1990s.

I don't mind it, it's like an F1 with a back end that's too high. It's not as nice as an F1, but it's ok.

Yeah, I don’t hate the looks. Engine sounds shit at idle though.

I think I'd still take an F1 personally. Don't know why Murray insisted on that fan, for all his 'driving purity' ethos.

Sounding good on the dyno.
Starting at 1:12 to avoid some wank.

very slurry changes, probably/possibly just the dyno calibration.

Less than T50 (T49?) also announced.

The “lower price point” will still be £enormous of course.

Having it without the ground effect fan sounds more appealing tbh.

I expect it will still need a designer to make it look nicer though, one that understands you can make interesting shapes with carbon fibre.

Maybe they can keep working downwards until its just a rebadged Elise

At least it should look less shit without a massive fan sticking out the back.

Yep, looks like a less good F1 until you see the back.
I'm ok with the fan. As long as it actually does something useful at road speeds. 'Love the fan!', 'Yeah, you really notice it once you get over 150'.
The end of the video. it's not like he's going to say it's shit is it.
