Fan looks pretty stoopids, but - it does appear to be an F1 for the 20's. Well well.

I like the orange seat. The rest is bland apart from the big fan which looks dumb.

At last something he’s involved with actually seeing the light of day. Looks a bit nondescript but will clearly be epic. See Harry M has already loaded up his reveal.

:lol:
The launch time for this is even worse than the Mclaren F1. I guess if they sell a handful maybe it will also end up appreciating to many times it’s original price.

Looks like the offspring of an f1 and a Porsche 918.

The fronts got a bit of a nervous quivering lip look about it :?

Evo are saying the run of 100 is mostly pre sold. I don't get it though it's just a F1 built with modern technology, albeit the primitive gearbox.

Rear wheel offset doesn't look right - too much arch showing

You say that like it’s a bad thing. :?

50bhp up on the F1
150kg down on the F1
25yrs newer suspension, wheel, brake, tyre tech
Some driver aids (assumed - haven’t checked - edit - have now - aids)
Ugly fan on the arse

My point was more that it looks exactly the same! Even down to the windows within windows.

Wasn't too keen when I first saw it, but having just listened to the DriveNation Podcast interview with Gordon Murray I love the philosophy behind it.
