What the hell is that?! This is the result of one of two things. The designer, who has no experience of cars, was asked to design a supercar for c.2015, or, they sneezed when they got to the side and rear.

There are no reason to come up with that tripe otherwise.

The engineering is probably quite sound and it weighs 940kg which is impressive for a car that size carrying a 7lt V8.

I'm voting for this not for its looks which is...unfinished, let me put it that way, but because one, it's Brazilian, two, it's made by students - underdogs; who doesn't root for underdogs?- and finally, for that motor.

I totally agree with JKgo ... actually I vote for the same reasons.

The rear is an interesting section but the front is something like a Batman mobile.
The cockpit is certainly unfinished.

Voted, mainly because it is so bold (despite unfinished...) 👍
