Technically brilliant but over styled for my liking

I really liked these, but on topgear when sitting next to the Noble and Lamborghini i thought the Noble looked better!

Leaves me cold. Doesn't stir the soul like a 458 or Aventador.

Truly awful awful car. I have no desire to drive one or aspire to own one. The styling is pants and it makes a noise like a vacum cleaner The result of when the engineers are allowed to do everything!

Ironically I was chatting to a guy on holiday last month who works on it at Woking. Told him if I had the money it would be a 458 everytime (the noise, the looks, the noise (again) ) To be fair he took it well and agreed. Naturally aspirated for the win everytime

But alas I don't have the pennies so its back to work BAH!

The standard car does look quite tame, but I think it will age better as opposed the the likes of the F458. (I hate those DRL it has)

This however;







If they could sell that as a road car, I think sales would pick up!
