Nothing like ruining the aerodynamics of a perfectly well designed car is there? I imagine that front 'air dam' will act like a huge parachute!

I do wish people would stop ruining perfectly good and capable MR2's.

It's true that the Gumpert has looks only its mother could love, but it's purposeful and you know that the ugly bits are there for a reason.

To purposely turn a pretty pretty MR2 into that suggests some kind of mental illness.

Yeah, they always used to ruin pretty crap Pontiac Fieros doing this sort of nonsense.

I saw a real Gumpert Apollo in a motorway services on the way to Le Mans, it attracted a crowd, and looked aggressively purposeful. Absolutely loved it.

The replica, makes baby Jesus cry.
