One observation and a different take on the show...

Personally, I had a very negative reaction to the press photos; after seeing the car in motion, and on the track, it has a new appeal... given the stated design goals, they didn't do such a half-bad deal. The car looks (to me) a whole lot better on the hoof.

Secondly, was anyone else fascinated by the process? It's obvious that every piece on a concept car like that has to be fabricated... but to see them cutting the blocks, making the gauges, etc was really neat. I have always been in awe of the clay modelers... that mock-up with the colored vinyl applied was amazing.
