A useless question but something I noticed with the side-view mirrors on the door. The early production Mclaren F1's, and c12's had similar designs but in later development changed to positioning them on the fender; is this something that you have considered?

my favorite part
All about getting the air away from the car as efficiently as possible. Making the "wake" calm. The rougher a car's wake, the harder it is to go faster.

We have not completed the full scale wind tunnel testing yet, but we feel that it is definitely advantageous to keep them on the pillars to not disturb the air passing over the front fender areas. We feel confident that the new generation also has much better rear visibility because of the all glass cab area and the position of the side rear view mirrors.
hilarious video Tom!
