Default WTF - Crazy ZR1 rebodied car

This was recently reveled and I am sad to say it look horrible. The designer is amazing since he did the P4/5 Enzo which I have seen in person and was hopping for SOOOO much more...I understand form=function by..

To each his own.. I have said I'd give anything to own a ZR1.. but honestly if given the choice of "That" car or a Z06 ...I'd take the Z06..

I'm usually quite appreciate of new thoughts and design... and there maybe some great elements to this creation but there is really a lot going on there (and not in a good way)...

This could be a concept from which a real car is built. Smooth out the great number of angles, simplify the whole thing, this might be ok 20 years from now but we're not there... Vettes need something simpler, maybe this could be a Mazda concept or a new Evo or Lotus but probably not a Vette...

It's a concept car . . . I like it. Is it really, really fast?

Yes Project M where the ignorant designer got rid of the "ram air scoop" which is really a cold air intake, because he said form must follow function. Right....I see a lot of function in his form. NOT!

Do we have a pic of the front, it had some promise?

It is just a design study. The Italian design studios do them a lot to generate interest in their studios. Usually they don't drive that well.

The body lines are classic Ritalin derived, with a hint of Double Espresso laden with a Tequila hangover.
The concept is nothing short of a visual naked fall into a briar patch.
But, the again some folks like Single Malt Laphroig...
