Ok, well here goes, (not my images but heck)

Also the obligatory Trek reference.

There's not enough words in the English language that would properly explain the bizarreness of this pic.

i just ran into this on, of all things, the "cheezeburger network"

I was at Borders and I saw Pon Farr perfume, the packaging said, "Drive him crazy." IMMD

Mum just came in and asked what the hell I was howling at with that look in her eye that I'm an immature idiot.

Then I showed her and her reaction was similar

The sexiest car in town, sounds like a dream, moves like one, looks like one.

She roars like a lion. Enjoy.

Hang on a minute. That thing has a 7L V8 turbo and supercharged engine and claims to produce 1,104 BHP with a top speed to 217mph. That's 103 BHP more than a Bugatti Veyron, which has an 8L W16 quad-turbocharged engine, which can reach 253mph. The math doesn't seem to add up.

Zenvo also uses traditional GM "fuel scrooge" (tm) (tm) gearing, were anything above 4th gear is overgear, hence the engine can't fully utilize the theoretical performance. Also, as you can see, that car is a nightmare when it comes to aerodynamics.

ITT: People ruin a great, great thing. It's a supercar, what does actual performance have to do with anything? It looks like a dream, it sounds like one, and it looks amazing even as a blur? What's the problem?

Thats opinion-based mate. Some people like things that actually add up and make sense, some don't. I personally think that car is a bit ugly in the sense that it looks like a very angry Transformer.

Thats not necessarily true. The Nissan GTR is covered in bumpy bits and holes, and that was designed to be as aerodynamic as possible. A golf ball is covered in dimples which are designed to improve the aerodynamics.

In short, smooth =/= aerodynamic

And? My point was it's a supercar, it's for display. Way to miss it.

I don't support posers.  Cars like that are meant to be driven. If you want to see one sitting still, doing nothing, there's a place for that too, it's called museum or private collection/exhibition.

I think you're mistaken. Ferrari thinks you're mistaken, too (Even if their cars are hideous, they're still Supercars).

[Nebula]

Prime now I think it's you who missed the point....

Care to elaborate, there?

[captain_obvious]

Care to elaborate, there?

It's not about "show".
It's about "go".
Sure a car can look good and be fast, but what's the point? The looks are just to show off when you're stationary.
You know what's the ultimate way to show off in a car? Be the fastest around.

A car is built to transport you places, not to stand still like some playboy bunny.  If you want to stand still then fine, do it on your own two feet and save some diesel for the rest of us!
Bugger, I forgot that GM doesn't like diesel.. diesel, petrol whatever. It's all just hydrocarbons at the end of the day. my bad :/
