New GTR thread.
If you build it, they will come...
Right in their pants. 480PS (about 473hp) in a car the size of a 350Z? Yeah, no one's going to buy Ferrari beating technology for half the price of a Ferrari.

If I had money to blow on ANY car I wanted it would always be a Pagani Zonda. On my current budget if I were buying a car right now it would be a toss up between a 350Z... which I would wait for the 370Z now... and the BMW Z4M Coupe.

The design is growing on me a bit, and I think I'll reserve my judgment till I can see it in the metal. Admittedly, I tend to like the lunatic fringe of car design (eg, Modern Subarus).
I wonder how easy it'll be to make power on. If it's easy it'll definitely help the car out in internet-opinion land.

Why are car makers replacing the front fenders with headlights?! They are like two feet long. I decided to do a quick photochop of the headlights, but I ended up doing the whole car. It looks crappy because I didn't expect to do it all, but you get the idea.
The original:
My modded one:
I shortened the headlights, body matched the grille, got rid of the hood and fender scoops, body colored the A-pillar and raised the windows to get rid of the roof wedge. I also smoothed out the body lines, too many creases.
It's still ugly, the grille does nothing for me and the whole car looks awkward.

Also, since it is a "Global" car, they had to take into consideration silly crash requirements from here as well as vehicle vs. pedestrian requirements world wide.
