That looks much better (and more realistic) than the M1 Homage Concept...

on a side note, it looks like the bumper and fender are all one piece. Lotus tried this for a while but it proved to be too costly in the event of a crash.

or maybe.... the PICTURE IS A FAKE!?!?! (it has kabura wheels)

Photoshopped M3. Has the same carbon fiber roof and the fuel door looks a little funny. Look at an M3 from that angle and the features are almost identical. Looks cool as hell though.

^Yep. The light on the wheels isn't right, the side markers look drawn on, and there's a strange sort of discontinuity behind the door that you have to look very closely to see. A very good photochop, but still a photochop.

Someone did a nice job with photoshop... I've seen that background somewhere before with another car. Also, those headlights look quite familiar and the hood doesn't quite meet up right woth the front. However, the one glaring thing that assures it's not real is the fact that the quarter panels and the front fascia are all one piece.
