Come to think of it, it would look MUCH more menacing in satin black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since it appears to be a transparent color over carbon fiber. Think of the job the decals would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hmm... Here's a yellow one. And a white one. And a black one. Can't tell if this is black, or if it's the purple one. And if you thought the exterior was bad... The good news, apparently they're only making 10 of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 A car at this price is really more art than practical. However it is just ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 It accomplishes everything it was designed to do; be dramatic and get lots of attention. My big thing on these, is how this (and many others like it) will be frozen in time and in about ten years will represent a very distinct, dated era as vividly defined as the Pontiac Aztec, the Edsel, the VW Thing and, oh I don't know, shag 70's vans?

Is it cleaner or does the black just "hide" the extraneousness? I think all the gingerbread is still there, just "de-emphasised" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a video of that car before and it is pretty cool, however I don't think that getting in or out of that ride would be good for my already ailing back.
