That's the kind of F1-series racing car you'd see in a movie! To me, it seems like it's a robot also...TRANSFORMERS! lol :lol:

In some of the pics it looks like a 2 seater, but how does the second passenger get in? They have that massive spoiler sitting in their way & it doesn't look like that front seat moves up?

Cool! I'm betting it's probably the fastest car you'd have to unlock in the game, just like the Escudo Pikes Peak version was in the previous 3.

I was much happier when the Japanese companies were perfectly content to be thought of as "boring" style-wise. When they've been taking stylistic chances lately, it's just come across as really weird. The Solara, that Tacoma concept, the new Accord, this thing. . . just. . . weird. . .

I think its not even a design study. More like, "boys, we got some money, let's get away from people calling us bland!"

Moreover "Boys - lets throw good taste out the window and dump a load money in our design studio's concept car budget - lets see if teenagers will think it's cool and trendy".

well i dunno for sure... but in theory the spoiler could slide along that track on either side to let the passenger in. seeing as how we're talking about a wacky concept to begin with!
