will (hopefully) look like this.
Secret spy stuff from our friends at Factory Five, courtesy of Tim Suddard. I think I like it better in 3 dimensions than the rendering that won the contest.
Now I can't wait for SEMA so I can see it in full size. (Photos at least...)
Oh....my....goodness.
I think that FFs got a major happiness center there.
WOW!! LOVE IT!
A little Lotusie looking.
Curves in all the right places
That is pretty sweet! I could go for that.
That will be my mid-life crisis car.
I'm not there yet, but I'll make an exception and start early.
Sorry, I continue to be underwhelmed.
Xabier's design looks good and RISD definitely did a great job bringing it to life in 3D.
But it lacks punch. It's a Hyundai of sports car bodies. It's well designed, but not really unique or groundbreaking. It doesn't stand out as something new - you'll get "Isn't that the new Ferrari?" or "Ain't that some kind of Lotus?", rather than "what is THAT?!". I was really hoping for something more.
Kudos all around, but I can't wait to see the other designs.
is it going to have a targa roof? IMO that would make it quite appealing...

True, it's a bit conservative, but to go truly cutting-edge is to risk having a Ron Paul design - loved by it's fans, and shunned by the majority. The bottom line IMO is that FF needed a handsome skin for a budget wundercar. They succeeded.Kudos all around, but I can't wait to see the other designs.
So is now the appropriate time to start thinking about powerplants? Am I the only one who would favor a well built stout NS type build to a high strung turbo? Lag doesn't suit it's character.
Man, that windshield looks dangerous!

It's an appropriate time to THINK of them.
I have early indicators that a single digit serial number kit will be heading to Florida...we will definitely be building one so watch us make mistakes and learn from them before building your own!

Thankfully not. They are 3D printing some other models for comparison. I really hope those have some more drama and character.
