Looking like at least 1.5 - 2 weeks before my car is ready. My motor is schedule to ship out tomorrow. I'm hoping to pick it up on 9/17. Apparently they are out of cores.

I sure hope it goes into production. The side mirrors ROCK, though I don't know how practicle they'd by being so thin. Looking at the size of the brakes and all the stitching in the interior, it looks like it might be a bit expensive.



edit: Just rewatched it, is the car total cgi?

Yah, in the video it's all CG There's a real concept car floating around though, but it likely doesn't drive.

they aren't mirrors. they are rearward facing cameras.

Yah, there have been a lot of recent concept cars with cameras instead of mirrors but so far no one has released a car with them. I can only speculate on why that is, but I've often wondered if it's because there's some country somewhere that doesn't allow them.

Orp

I had a good time out at ORP Labor Day weekend. I wasn't on the track myself yet, but I worked corners for MotoFit Groups trackday (motorcycles!). Good times.....

See but the problem that I have with it is that its just too futuristic for me. Like too many sharp lines, the headlights are way too narrow, same with the tail lights and the center console looks like I could never find a spot to securely mount a boost gauge! Like the Audi R8, great headlights, great tail lights, and that car had angles, but it wasn't all about sharp lines. Maybe its just me being short sighted, i could see this car working in like 20-30 years, but its unappealing to me now.
