Me too. Cute, orange. What's not to like? Apart from the red interior and the strange mess around the front bumper, obviously.

That is ( or should be) an oil cooler, it is a call back to old JDM tuner cars, where people hanged oil coolers on the front bumper for better cooling.

I love it, it does not take itself seriously.

To that BMW exhaust, I look at it and think to myself that for the same amount money, time and effort, they could have made it better like

It’s quite cool, but you're right, that oil cooler looks stupid.

I like that - obviously a total piss take. Caged, Sparco seat and harness - bit of fun for a weekend trackday, what's not to like? I'd love it if he tried to park that in between the million dollar classics at the "Members Only" enclosure at the Ferrari concours event!

Surprisingly the callipers don't rotate with the wheel so they could be worse.

Looks like they've already passed their funding goal. I particularly like that they fit up to 20in wheels, despite the usp being the pretence that you have 20in wheels.

I'd just leave a trail of broken plastic everywhere because I'm not good at judging how wide my cars are with their actual wheels, so I'm afraid I'm out, but it would hardly be the weirdest car mod that's sold in reasonable numbers and you could see people buying them ironically too.

If you're really hardcore, it's an extra 3kg a corner of unsprung weight (I.e. the devil). And I think I'd prefer it if the "wheel" stayed still and just the "calipers" rotated to mess with people's heads.

Love the exterior. The interior is...shall we say, not to the same standard.

Don’t know anything about the car, it just popped up in a feed, so I guess it could well be a pisstake.
