^Yep the profile is no where near perfect.

Its like they tried to give it a cab-forward stance like the Zonda but due to the bulbous front wheel arches and the proportionally longer rear it just failed.

Hi,

I'm back like I left something...

The more it gets compared to other autos... the more I love it?

Kills the Zonda in the looks department.

Cheers,
Nik

From a design standpoint, I think the MP4 looks better. The rear of this car isn't so bad, in fact I would say it's unique (in a good way). The front just doesn't have the aggressiveness I come to expect from their flagship.

Now the kicker is that this was built up as a successor to the F1 correct? ( I thought I read that somewhere). If that is so, then this design has failed miserably to capture, even surpass the essence of the F1 from the aspect of design appearance.

One look at the F1 and you just "knew". One look at this and I'm perplexed.

The 918 is a clear example of "knowing" from first glance.

Jokes aside, I'm really not feeling the design of the new P12. I love the extreme aspect of it but looks wise it just doesn't look good to me. Maybe when we see some different shots of it I'll change my mind.

rollin_bentley is an unknown quantity at this point
I hope it doesn't have a central driving position! That's the one thing that I don't like about the F1!

Nice side profile and roof line. But, honestly, the front and rear are too outrageous. Had it been a start-up company Im sure there would be much more criticism.


I guess I was hoping for more F1 and less spaceship. It always takes me a while to warm up to new cars.
