So if that is the 400BHP car why make the T400R (Tyhpon) ??????

Not sure about the rear but I like the front end.


Edited to add, Ned has been sorely missed in the design department.

Of course it will look fantastic in it's right environment, which is on the track! For the road I'll stick with a T350c. Rich...


Yep, absolutely. Would look silly on the road, too fussy (especially for a Tivver), too many bits and pieces all over the places. Will look awesome in racing livery with a number on the side.

cant help but think if they toned it down a bit it would look better, like get rid of the see-through rear wing. its just to max power for me...

back end looks weird especially the bit hiding the exhaust

spoiler looks like some one's just stuck it on as an after thought---no doubt it's needed on the track

Utterly dreadful and very disappointing

How can the company which brought us the gorgeous Cerbera, stunning Tuscan and sexy little T350 now bring us this?

It's a Carisma T350C without the speakers
Way to fussy, if that had been posted as 'look what I've done to my T350C chaps', and it was on the cover of next months REVS it would have been ripped to bits
If I was in the position of buying one I'd have the standard car with that ones engine

I'm probably in the minority then as I think it looks a mess.

I know nothing about race car aerodynamics though and can only guess that the reason it looks like someone attacked it with a chainsaw is that all those cuts have some use on the track?

That said, they've made a nice job of the rear-side windows where they taper. Much better than on the T350 - never did like that little black triangle.

For a car that is supposed to be more focused and more function over over form, why have they covered it in cosmetic rubbish of no practical use?

What possible purpose could all those slats over the front and rear wheels have?
What is the point of the rear facing roof vent, and SURELY there must be a better way of doing the rear spoiler...
