ooooohhhh....aaaaahhhhh

Goodness Cheesy, that was cool. I thought maybe you wrote that yourself, lol...

:ernae:

Reminded me of something from Last Exile...
 
Looks like the love child of the Batmobile and a Transformer. I'm not a fan of the open spaces on it. Odd how they want to make a hybrid or electric car out of it.

All of the manufacturers are doing it now. High performance hybrid supercars.

And as ugly as I normally think Porsche's tend to be I do think their 918 hybrid concept is a thing of beauty:

You have to hand it to Porsche...

Although some would call it arrogance rather than confidence...
"and a lap time on the Nordschleife of Nürburgring in less than 7:30 minutes, faster than even the Porsche Carrera GT"

Fact is the 918 has never turned a wheel on the 'Ring.
But their simulator is that good, and their modelling so accurate, that they can call it - as a matter of fact.

it's the very last thing from the narrarator (who is actually the little kid who looks like chakka)
in the movie mad max 2 "the road warrior"
 
...because it looks like a Ferrari rip-off (lights...)?

I don't really think sharing a passing similarity is a rip-off. Besides, if it's most like anything (rather obviously) then it would be the Carrera GT.

Co-incidentally I think Ferrari's are ugly. Well, the P540 one off was okay, and I'll admit that the 250 GTO is delightfully curvy and kitsch. Apart from that really they've all been a bit vulgar to my eyes.
