Reminds me of a 1955 Ford color called Diamond Ice Blue, I painted a 1948 Ford Convertible with it in 1957, beautiful!

That's neat, but how do you go into reverse in it? Like, where's the back window?

Turn the engine off, aim the steering wheel in the right direction, open the door and step out. AND YOU PUSH IT FROM THE FRONT! :D

Now, seriously! Who cares?? :p

that's probably not the kind of car you drive in reverse, always see race car pit crews pushing their race cars backwards into the pit areas, this thing is probably the same way :D

It could also probably have one of those mounted cameras that turns on once you put it in reverse...but I doubt it.

My favorite supercar. :D

I like the color and the gray band around the back of the car, but I think the wheels would look better in another color, maybe chrome.

Chrome wheels on a supercar is a crime IMO... Well, chrome wheels on any car is pretty bad IMO.

If I remember correctly, the McLaren F1 doesn't even have that much window. I'd have to look at who's top dog performance-wise now in the supercar wars, and by how much, but I'm pretty sure that'd still be my first automobile purchase with unlimited funds. I think they were the first ones to bring full-on functional ground effects to a street car (not counting one-offs).

Well...pollished. Chrome is to heavy. :D The paint is just so bright and reflective that I feel a bright, pollished wheel would accent it nicely.

That car's an animal...... I'll take one in any colour, even pink.

It's now the world's fastest production car, clocking 395km/hr.
Apparently they're attempting to cross the 400k barrier next month.

It's amazing what you learn from a Motor Show.

But I wouldn't go as far as calling it beautiful in the cosmetic sense.

I don't know, I think it is a beatiful looking car in the cosmetic sense. Its got nice lines, much like a sweedish super model.

Couple cool pics:

It is a striking car, but it kinda looks disproportionate.
