looks pretty good, but I would loved to see some more images, maybe from the inside.

Overall, good job

this is pretty old news. It did end up looking a bit funky, and slightly different. but still not to shabby!

They based their design off the model car Concept car. This car was made before the real one was even released.

sounds to good to be true.

No, this one is based on a '60s Mustang. It looks odd.

Actually, it might be the SEC. You can't really tell from the photos, and the article doesn't say.

this car wasn't built from an american muscle car but from an old school mercedes 350 SLC. I saw this article just after the concept came out.
