I think many people will consider that there are often features of many other cars in any new design. Whether this is immitation or flattery is a matter of debate.

In reality, rather than by photography, most of these cars are completely different. In the case of the Farbio others have commented that some angles remind them of other iconic cars but the overall view is collectively exceptional from all angles. This too is a matter of personal taste. There is often a general agreement about beauty whether in human form, nature or art but there is always opinion and it is that that spearates humans from machines.

Have you seen the Farbio or the McLaren 'in the flesh'? Would be happy to show you the Farbio, at least it is 'physical'.

Havn't seen the Macca in the flesh, but have had a ride in the Farbio and, IMHO, is much better looking than the M12...be it GTO, 3R or M400.

The Farbio rides a bit like the Noble but the n/a one is SOOOO under powered! I'm sure the Macca wont have that problem!

The Farbio looks much better in the flesh as i thought the same as first!

It's very difficult to comment on a car until acually seeing it!

IMO... wink

Ross, I think you have only been in the non supercharged car. Imagine your Noble without Turbos!

Seen it, still looks like the vents are on backwards.

^^^How are ya?^^^

Side vents on the Macca are sexier than a very sexy thing!! yes


Agreed its a very subjective thing though! But the Macca IMO a lovely looking motor and thats before seeing it in the flesh. In the same sentence I can say that also IMO the new 458 Italia, looks a bit odd.
