[Car Freak]

Check this out. I think it looks utterly jaw dropping

Basically, it's the M3 of the future (maybe), with a 1.5L 3-cyl turbodiesel engine paired with two electric motors to produce 350bhp. It's light too (for a car with electric motors and batteries), at just under 1400kg - thanks to an aluminium chassis and bodyshell, and polycarbonate windscreen, roof and doors - so it'd be pretty quick as well. Have I also mentioned how utterly amazing it looks? If diesel-electric sports cars can look this good, then BRING ON THE FUTURE I say! :nuts:

Looks great, i love the door.

 

Car companies have been making concepts that look futuristic for ages, i wonder when they will actually make a car that is exactly like it, they just tone it down, it's still a step forward but not a big one at that.

Don't like it. And i can give you the reason why.

 

There's no soundtrack.

Love it. That rear looks so like the GTbyCitroen, which is good, cause the Frenchies have gone really mad there. :D

I like it, better than the Bangle designs....

 

The Front reminds me of a Dodge Challenger though.
