I like it. Especially that insane rear end.

Maybe not a render but very possibly a model, full scale or half, Look at the windows.
Quite possibly a not quite complete car, but there are already prototypes running around so it is probably made in a way to disguise the interior.

Whatever it is, I like it!

Something's not right.

Car and reflection don't match, so I'd say rendered rather than real.

Still think it's great looking though.

Is the spiderman function standard or an optional extra? hehe

That's a cracker! I really like it. 750BHP + 100BHP KERS also sounds very appealing smile

It looks absolutely superb, particularly the side profile.

I can't wait to see one in the flesh.

In what way don't they match? Other than the wobbles in the floor surface and perhaps the little lens flare stars, it looks pretty much spot-on to me?

Roof line goes back to the rear wheel on the 'real car' but not in the reflection?

Look at the weird hump in the rear wheel arch in the reflection. It isn't there on the "proper" car.

Is that not just the angle of the photo?

Yes, it is the angle. Look at the shape of the rear corner of the glasshouse - you can't see the rounding in the reflection because the camera is, unsurprisingly, not perfectly on the floor so you don't see the same angle. The flanks obscure the part you're looking at. Apart from the fact that the reflection does seem to match the car, it wouldn't be very bloody difficult to render a perfect mirror.. I have that down as a blacked-up prototype with an interior full of wires and sensors.

And it looks awesome biggrin
