To each their own... I like the back a lot more than I like the front. Something about those metal teeth just don't appeal to me.

It looks like the happy looking guy got his ride pimped with a body kit/internals. It doesn't look as classy as a C6 but to each his/her own.

I really do not like all the body work, It takes too much away from what a Vette looks like. It almost looks too European and not American.
Now the engine I like.

Side view almost looks like a Mustang, for me the whole bodystyle was not my taste, the rest of the concept yep that would do it.

I agree that it looks like a Mustang or european like a Bentley. IMHO a waste of money and effort to duplicate those looks!

Yea the wings emblem reminds me of aston martin or bentley, the rear end reminds me of something like a lotus mixed with a aston martin, the front end reminds me of nightmares of Jaws...
