Re: LF-A at the Ring

Two things...would be cool if all that power came from an advanced hybrid powerplant of some kind, and if the production model displays the over-the-top aggressive and futuristic looks of the last concept.

Hybrid is a hoax and proper sports car shouldn't have it, let alone supercar.

110% correct.

Proper sportscar:
  1. Manual transmission
  2. RWD
  3. lightweight
  4. two-seater only
  5. sharp drift angles
  6. thrilling exhaust note
  7. business-ready instrument panel
  8. etc

This is almost the car equivalent of Duke Nukem Forever (a PC game in the making since 1998.....and its still not out yet still).

They'd better release the damn car soon or its gonna look dated (it has a very nice shape IMO but i dont think the concept can stand the test of time, it needs creases to break up the curves and blobs)
