And while the rebody is likley influenced / honed for high speed stablility...those tails are the worst choice this side of a 7-series for what remains of the FD bodywork.

I honestly would have expected to see something along the lines of a JGTC or N1- Spec widebody, or an FD with minimal body mods and that monster motor...

Speaking of which, what's the rated PS & kgm on that beast anyway?

Sure sounds savage... :drool: Mmmm....

It looks good enough on first, second and perhaps even third glances.... but there are issues that I have with the overall form of the rebody ( one being the stock rear hatch glass)
and it's ability to harmoniously co-exist as a functional design with the remnants of the OEM FD chassis.

I would have left the FD bodywork well-enough alone. It is so beautifully honed and lithe and unique, it has a poetry all it's own.

Compared to the Gallardo, Murcielago and 456GT, IMHO the rebody looks clunky and ill-proportioned.

All of which begs the question... with a low profile front lip and adjustable spoiler, would a stock-body FD really be that much of a handful at 300 km/h plus..?

I doubt it.
