Thought about this as well. If this is a prototype that they've had for months, or years for testing purposes, that button has been pressed hundreds, probably thousands of times. That being said, it's starting to grow on me. We know they like to use aviation themes for the interior, and this...
Hopefully he ran his post by his supervisor or something. He could get in trouble, maybe even fired for discussing details about an upcoming product reveal. Would hate for that to happen, seems like a passionate dude.
It's nice to see the start button getting its own teaser. But the question on all our minds is - Where's the belt buckle close up? Come on guys, most important part of the car, don't leave ya boy hanging.
Did this guy just violate his NDA for internet clout? If he is legit, that's yet another person talking about how cool/good looking the final design is. Hope it lives up to my expectations.
Maybe he means it's just a similar shape? All new sheet metal, but with a familiar appearance. ExplorerDude on Blue oval forums said the sketches and rendering he saw showed a slightly lower roofline with a more swept back design. But maybe they changed that.
Bro, that's a engineering validation mule for testing purposes. Early prototypes almost always use bodywork from other vehicles mashed together in Frankenstein fashion. That's what that is. It's not the actual bodywork.
I kinda see where you're coming from. Keeping these designs under wraps, quite literally, is a headache for engineers at the best of times. Right now, they have dozens, if not hundreds of dedicated enthusiasts basically chasing them across the country. If it was the actual s650 design, I would...
A little hard to tell. But the car under that cover doesn't seem to be camo'd. Can make out a few new lines, like the line in the hood that connects to the grille. Looks like the grille protrudes more than we thought, which is a good thing.
I think that's extremely likely. Kinda like how the zo6 sounds very similar to the Corvette racecars. Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting strong gt350 successor vibes from this engine noise. I know it's probably not the voodoo, but still.
