Are you gonna let C&D time your car ?
High speed runs ??
After reading the whole thread in Fchat, I have an even bigger respect for the wizzards at PininFarina 
Can you provide some info about the downforce generated ?
Exact numbers (in both configurations  ) at different speeds, so we could compare it with the Enzo
BTW, Evo will have acces to your car ? They have some awesome writers (biased, of course  ) but very good, one can only imagine a review about your car written by one of the "old" Evo editors.
Looking forward to see the beauty

He hasn't posted anything in the "What you drive" section, merely responded on a topic. Besides, it's pretty obvious Jim is for real.

I might be a bit biased; but I feel Evo, Car, and most of the domesstic magazines have gone downhill over the past few years. In any case I am looking forward to seeing, reading, and hearing all about your creation 
you've certainly done a great job building her up over the last few months

Right before the Paris Auto Show there will be Press High Speed Runs at a test track near Paris.

Appears that somebody already scanned the C&D mag, and put photo`s online with the beauty
So here it is  gorgeous
  
Although you could see that this is not quite the final aspect, if you look at the pictures that Jim posted
So we`ll have to wait until he puts the real ones

^^^and imagine how the actual thing would look like :faint:
Lower drag coefficient than an Enzo, more downforce, also lighter
This is just insane, and very good looking :good:

Looks incredible, the wheels are the only thing that is a bit questionable to me, but the rest of the car is absolutely gorgeous, a proper modern interpretation of the P3/4. It's better proportioned, and far more attractive than the Enzo, and I absolutely love the top-exit exhaust. Excellent Jim, absolutely wonderful.

Thanks! This is the styling model as of Dec. 05. We took this shape into the wind tunnel and made some changes based on what we learned. We also worked on the nose and it's curvier/shorter as are the headlights.
In the Carbon it looks different and IMO really great more transparent, lighter.
If any of you will be at Pebble and want to go to the unveiling party drop me an email

i hope the visit to the wind tunnel didn't ruin the shape too much cause i think it's just perfect as it is although my personal taste is irrelevant here
i'll be more than eagre to see the final rendition of this fascinating project and hoping for the best!
