Awful ...
They have ruined what was possibly the 2nd greatest looking car they have ever produced.
Who did it for them ? Carisma ?
There are some great touches to it, like the cut in front arches with the shape going through the door, the perspex spoiler and the carbon exhausts but after that they have just gone over the top with slashes/holes/lumps and bumps IMHO ...
If it was a concept I would think it was superb, but as a production model it is not floating my boat.
I think it is a bit like the Tamora in that it wasn't really the completed article and was too obviously a Griffith reshaped and updated, but not very well.
This is a T350 that's been cut about a LOT and it spoils what was a stunning design in the first instance.
Shame, couldn't afford it anyway

I love the bits just under the headlights, and I love the look of the cuts above the wheels from a low angle (i.e. slots, not gaping holes), but that bit in the middle of the bonnet, the rear bumper... it all looks too max powery, too after market modded up. it certainly isn't a production car I'd have liked to have seen.
Then again, as someone pointed out, it's for track days so maybe all those cuts serve a purpose, maybe the ugly bumper is to hide the exhausts which are longer now... it still has ruined the lines of the base car

Well, now that I've seen it, I'm not as excited as I thought I would be. As ever, I'm sure all the driving bits are excellent, but I have to say that it is one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen in my entire life. I admit, it is very cool. But I still think that the back and the front are really disgusting. Whatever you say about judging a book by its cover, I still would not buy this car.

I love it! I think the rear lights are such an improvement over the standard car - the vents and parallel indented lights. oh
. The front lights and lip spoiler and much better too. The wider arches are integrated really cleverly, just love it (better than the green mock up - sorry).
If I were able to influence the final car, I'd suggest they rethink the central bonnet area, rear spoiler and side exit exhaust.
Edited to add: but thinking about it, they're all probably functional rather than to make it look 'nice'.
I haven't done the lottery for a couple of years, I'm doing to do it this week (and mine's a black one).
