It does but if you watch the video the car rises up when the engine is switched on, like an old Citroen would.

Out of interest though, why does that make the car look better?

It changes the proportions, looks wider comparative to height.

I'm not feeling that at all.

Would be perfect if the body was more stock ie bumpers etc

Rather like this wide-bodied V12 E-Type Speedster





460bhp

Oooof!

Don't know whether it technically counts as "modified" but very pleased to see Simon Bainbridge has finished the rebuild on his Sports Libre, Audi 4.2 twin turbo powered sprint car

Love both of those ... posted the XJS in the "Best Exhausts” thread

I have to say that I disagree - I think it makes the proportions odd and unpleasant because you can't see any air below and above the car so it looks oddly bloated.

I'd love a blast in that.

Something like 800bhp per tonne.

Thanks.

I can always remove if it's an issue. I forgot an engine shot.

There is more air above the car if you lower it....
