The red car in the background of the first photo looks interesting; it looks like the same car as the blue one, with a more normal looking windshield. I assume that's the "street" model?

Good Lord that's ugly.  I am genuinely surprised how poor the styling effort is.

If its fitted anything like the GTM, i'd say run. Met a guy with his procharged gtm few weeks back and he talked about how none of the panels fit, they all had to be trimmed or added to in some fashion.

That's par for the course on kit cars, half the work is getting the body/panels/moldings to all line up.

So the 818C was just announced.  An all new coupe version with an updated front end.  MUCH better than the roadster IMHO...

I bet the people that spend money building the ugly roadster aren't happy lol...

[cholmes]

That is MUCH better looking than the roadster! Weird panel fitment around the doors, though.

[largeorangefont]

Nice! I'd buy that for a dollar!

[digitalsolo]

Yeah, door fitment sucks, but that's a MUCH better looking car.

[mattster03]

Door fitment definitely sucks... something's out of proportion with the door too.  Can put my finger on it... maybe it's the length and the back angle?

[mefarri]

Still don't like it.

[ncaudio]

Maybe it could work (better) in Satin or flat black so the panel fitment and gaps wouldn't be so apparent that make it look like a inexpensive kit car
