I would drive it!!

[David Hodgkins]

Kind of a cross between the new Vet concept and the Mach 5.

Cool!

:)

Stunning but even if you would drive it, you coudn't! See the top view, the space for the driver and seats need to be scaled up 30% or more. So will affect design a lot. It's all the thing of this contest, more freedom=less reality.
Nevertheless it's interesting...

I agree, I understand ffr leaving the design possibilities wide open, but concept designs never look as good when they are built to real specifications as they did on paper. (This happened with Mark's G3f) We are going to see some incredible designs over the next couple of months, I hope what finally gets built isn't a letdown.

Excellent artwork!!! But for me it just too extreme, and probably not cost effective for FFR

[keys2heaven]

Can't help but think this would make a cool Batmobile.

[Jeff Kleiner]

I bet he watched every episode of Speed Racer as a child.

[Nativo]

why would you make a Rear mounted Mid Engine car with wider front track than the rear???

[riptide motorsport]

I like it ! Steven

+1 :)

Are you freekin kidding me.. It's Fugly! Looks like a futuristic Batmobile. ICK

[Dave Smith]

I have seen a huge variety of designs so far and am really excited about the fact that elements of some or all of one may drive the design in a direction not anticipated. With Jim guiding the design, I am confident that the ONE thing this car will be is a beautiful performance car. We will not follow up the 33 and the GTM with an ugly design.

I also like it. I'm looking forward to seeing each coming weeks winners.

[JRL]

With all the "Stuff" incorporated in the front it looks like it will be very aerodynamic - much like a parachute.

[Oppenheimer]

Its futuristic, and 'out there', and inspired by Batmobile and Speed Racer. But if the goal is to take the best elements of each design and come up with a killer final result, then I find nothing to complain about with this selection.

As a whole I'm not that wild about this weeks winner, but there ara alot of elements of the design I do like.
My hope is the final design is something that'll pass all the safety regs in my state so I can drive on the street AND track.

Hope to see more of Xabier's designs....If I could vote for him as next week's winner I would.
