How the hell will this thing make it to 400 kph?

A shockwave of pure ugly displaces the air in front of the car, allowing it follow in the draft of it's own subjective putridness.

The radiator is undoubtably hideouse, but it sure attract attention. That car could grow on me, I like the shape of the roof and rear. Enter one in Le Mans and see how good it really is.

youd think by the shape that there would be a pretty huge vortex following the car...

like they sad on top gear:

All those mangled panels are apparently essential in gaining greater aerodynamic efficiency, presumably because the Weber's appearance physically scares the air out of its path.

I don't want to offend anyone here but quite frankly the majority of this site knows f all about aerodynamics outside the basic principles. For example I've mentioned before that my old Citroen AX was far more streamlined than a Lamborghini an a brick is more streamlined than a cylinder with the same volume.

For all we know that 'fugly' (man I hate that term) car with its relatively measley engine could be quite possible of reaching the quoted speeds and just perhaps those odd aerodynamics make such a speed much more easily attainable.

Don't be so close minded, sure its different but wait to see its performance and function before you condemn it.

i'd agree with tom on that...
take the Enzo for example.. many people critcized that car's look, but we all know about its performance...
This car was actually designed to compete with the amaizing Veyron, but obviously u cannot even compare those two cars, in terms of look of course.. That is simply because the veyron is in a totaly different class imo...

If it was, youve gotta give a noble car prize to them :wink:

Not to mention the price difference...you can buy(if youre selected of course) 2 F60 Enzo s for the price of one EB16.4 Veyron!!

+1, it sure is....but hypercars usually are like that...except the Veyron

Exactly, well said. Remember the Alfa SZ too?

There's nothing 'F1technical' in calling a car ugly so put in some decent input please.
