BTW I looked at that Protomotors site. It appears to have some kind of 2.0-liter 200 hp turbocharged motor, and weighs around 2100 lbs.

I was actually thinking that too, but meh... I guess Protomotor's just made a messed up car that has headlights that are aimed at the upper left, are misshapen, and the side body panels just reflect against the laws of physics.

Let's commend Protomotor's for creating a car that looks like a poor photoshopping job on a Ferrari.

From the look of it, maybe we should commend them for making a poor mans ferrari.

that photo is still photoshopped...the most obvious way to see it without zooming in closer is to look at the poor job they did with the fog lights...when do they look just like a flashbulb...if that's not enough then look at all the pics where the foglights look the same in the darker picture, the side pic and the front pic...drivnig lights point down on teh road itself as to not blind other drivers...those look like regular 100 watt lightbulbs b/c the pattern the pic displays

What are you talking about jaje? Just because the foglight shine brighter than what you think it should, doesn't mean that its photoshopped. Ever heard of dichroic driving lights? I know the PIAA 1100x auxiliary "foglights" on my car looks and shines just like that. (before anyone flames me, they are aimmed properly and I rarely turn them on unless I'm in the middle of the night on the highway) The PIAA 1100x I have is only a 55w bulb but emits light equivlant to that of 85w.

As for the shape of the headlights and the weird reflections. That can be attributed to the shape of the headlight housing and the angle of the side near the louvers combined with the angle of the picture taken.

Oh well, either way, I have already dismissed that this is not a "not well done" "altered Ferrari" as you said originally. :fawk:
