sleek and sexy

no word yet on the availabilty of a 1:5 size model. At this point it looks doubtful

Hi all, new here. I have recently really started to like Lotus and this forum has been a great place to gather info and strengthen this feeling! Seems like most are concentrated on the driving experience instead of desktop racing with numbers, I like!

Anyways, I tend to relax by fooling around with photoshop, and my last victim was this Lotus concept. So below you can see my "dream" version. I thought I would post it for you to see.

Looks like a goldfish cracker!

The fatal flaw of virtually all current concepts is the stupidly low roofline and high doors sills to look cool... which means one thing already mentioned... an aweful forward view, and a window that starts at your shoulder. At least on the doors i can understand it's for smaller cars to deal with taller ones in side impact, but no excuse for low roofline and high hoods... what's unfortunate is that they get implemented half the time... Chevy hummers, Infinity FX, are the first that come to mind. The nose is a little too pointy for me on this concept... it sorta says old Camaro to me. And ofcourse the big rims are an insult.
