CAR Magazine says that these aren't just photoshop renderings. It looks very good anyway

Looks pretty, but unfortunately, the first impression it gives is that of a warmed over Ascari KZ1.

Govenernment regulations get in the way of making light weight cars. In the name of ocupant safety is one thing..... but; taking away the option to drive w/out esp/ tc etc. is another.

Adding in the fact that there are other regs governing pedestrian safety? I just don't see Supercars being "better" per say than the late 80's through 2005. They may end up being faster for a few years yet. But better? I'm not so convinced.

It was never intended to be an F1 successor. For years there's been reports of a Ferrari F430 class supercar that just took so long to materialize.
