Found this and thought I'd pass it along. Kinda interesting.

The proportions don't seem quite right. It's like somebody took an F360 and played around too much with the stretch/skew functions in MS Paint.
Still, I bet it would look better as a finished product... and probably a bucket of fun. |

Just like a 914. The front will turn people off and the rear looks aggressive.

Gallardo front, VW center, Ferrari rear, and it's all too stubby IMHO. Stretch it out a bit and rework the doors a little |
