that wheel/rotor combo is awesome. I wonder if there's a real practical advantage to such a setup.

while I must admit it is an awesome car...
am I just not seeing any suspension?
it looks like the rear axle and shell are one piece...
the front looks like a solid piece as well....?

i love that they didn’t ruin it with independent suspension. I- beam axles will always be cool regardless of what the new trend is

Volvo had a baby blue roadster at SEMA that was cool as well. Not as traditional looking, but just as cool. There is a pic of it in my SEMA gallery somewhere.
