O man the side is awe striking...It barely resembles a Porsche and yet does in a futuristic sort of way but they seemed to skip a generation this car looks way ahead of its time.

All angles look good to me except the front. The sound is not as good as the CGT, but it does sound amazing, and it isn't trying to be the CGT. I cannot believe how small that car is, I bet it is like driving a go-kart. The only thing that comes to mind when I watch this; however, is that this type of car will eliminate people, unless they have an oil well in their backyard, from getting one down the line (used). The costs involved in taking this in for service being hybrid, PDK tranny, all the electronics, and out of warranty is probably staggering; detail it, push it in your living room, and buy a new 458 .

It does sound like a real v8 racing engine. It revs very fast.
And I agree, it's not a new carrera gt, it's a totally different car, and thats good! It's already an epic car

I really like the sound of the V8, it's completely different from what I expected though.
In low revs it sounds a bit like a power boat or an american small block. Then in the midrange it's more like a screaming wildcat and even if I yet have to hear what it sounds like at 8-9000 rpm under load, my senses tell me it will give me goosebumps

This car makes me think being young is overated, lol seriously getting a nintendo for xmas was pretty rad but a car like this is like christmas everyday when you enter your garage and a shiny sparkly silver spider is waiting for you. All you got to do is unplug the chord that its been charging start her up and rev the goolies off it and its like pure sugar cane for the soul.
