As far as all questions about the technology and company, I’m an independent “Automotive Design Consultant” and do not represent the company (PR is not my specialty). I personally am located in the Detroit area & only have my slightly customized Toyota MR2 Spyder to test drive
(in exchange for test-driving your Elise of course).

The design is CGI (3d, computer graphics); I’m working on a few tweaks/updates before the final release which is why I’m asking for opinions; so far it’s 98% “that’s cool” and 1% “that’s ugly” with no explanation; which doesn’t help me become a better designer or improve the final release.

The chassis is quite real though, but I highly doubt test-drives will be available until it’s complete. If you wish to meet them, their contact information is on
www.RonnMotors.com; I’d wait for press to die down first though.

The seats are a customized
Recaro Trend (ignore my sloppy CG).

Thanks for the design analysis, I took some notes! I won’t comment on everything just yet (like to get more opinions before muddying the waters), but having an alternative hood-vent-mesh option should be simple enough. Black chrome? Perhaps an example image would work best. Is that the “color” you want for the trim or paint on the car?<o>
