It looks Decent, but it looks like they forgot about the interior- too much carbon fiber....

exterior is nice, a bit forced in the back but that's alrite ...the interior on the other hand is horrendous...i cant understand the need to reduce weight but...carbon fibre everywhere is just ugly...jaguar is a symbol of class...and...that interior is just plain beast...what's with the screen in the middle of the steering wheel too?? I can see that beign somewhat of a safety hazard...looking down from the road to check things out...anyway....the exterior looks good ^_^

i agree... great exterior... overpowering interior... and oops! forgot the gauges! hahaha! guess that's what the screens in the wheel or on the console are for. maybe that's a racing thing... i'll take real gauges where they belong, thanks (are you listening ion?!?).

it looks like they riced up a jag! and i agree way to much carbon fiber, this car is too outdated i was hoping for an all new style.

Bring out the Cadillac XLR-V to beat it

The wheels on this car kill it for me. That and the wide body kit they tacked on to this car, doesn't look like it blends in to the body contour at all. It's got a great stance though.

Is it just me or does this car look "under-tired"? looking at maybe 11" wide tires out back (or less), I thought this was supposed to be their balls-to-the-wall rocket? why have a wide body if you're not going to have some nice fatties?

I don't think this is suppose to be a performance version of the XK. Its more of a street legal race car. Notice the huge diffuser, I dont think they would put that on a car that was meant strictly for the street. Im guessing its to go racing and compete against other street legal racers like the 360 Challenge Stradale

Looks like a viper

[johnd89]

the exterior of this car is killer!
the carbon dash is a nonsense: if you're looking to get rid of some weight you first change the doors and seats...

That made no sense.

if the wheels are 19" or more, they could be wide enough, but don't look...

Then clear it up.

yep, the wheels are 20" and 325 wide at the rear!
that's far from skinny....

The interior looks like the son-of-a-kia!!! ahhhhh
