Not surprised that it is so Elise-like. Kinda the Miata being Elan-like

but the miata cant sniff 270hp. cant touch it in styling either, however subjective that may be.

edit....misread your post. yes, i agree with you. good observation.

I like it, but the "Enzo" windows look retarded. They make the car look like a cartoon caricature from the side view.

I'd rather have one of the Supasse 7 clones *drool*

fitfan · 10-15-2009, 12:07 PM

that thing is fugly - its like 4 or 5 cars mashed together...

will never get into productions anyways

spectre · 10-15-2009, 12:12 PM

Enzo, Pangini, Elise, MR2

Love the idea of it but BOO!!! to the rip off design...

the1sen · 10-15-2009, 06:20 PM

I don't think FUGLY is a good enough word for it. It's almost been Azteked.

...i like it...

Agent ONE · 10-15-2009, 09:57 PM

Kinda like it.

Flash G · 10-15-2009, 10:51 PM

It's so ugly... I kinda dig it.

.

tabajay · 10-16-2009, 12:27 AM

Love it.

knucklehead · 10-16-2009, 02:41 AM

I dig the front view, but disappointed with the back half.

Darth G-F · 10-16-2009, 04:36 AM

Looks like a teenager's wet dream. The 14yo kid that designed this put everything he liked about different sports car. The result is to busy and really not well integrated.

Can an adult male actually get through the door opening? It looks like gymnists and Cirque du Soleil contortionists are the only people that will be able to fit through the hole...

fpitas · 10-16-2009, 04:40 AM

It's OK I guess, but it's hard to see it as an Elise competitor if I can't get it.

mjf · 10-16-2009, 08:49 AM

Would never make it into the US like that.

haha. It's like a tiny distorted, somewhat mutilated Pagani Enzo.

Kind of like the "pug" of cars.

Randy Chase · 10-16-2009, 09:00 AM

I like it. I want one.

I love the idea... not crazy about the execution.
