Never really liked the S7, so many vents.

The wheels are hot though. Those looks like the ones made by Dymag, centers are magnesium, outers are carbon fiber. They come stock on Moslers.

I've always liked the front end of these cars, but I agree a little too many vents.

Very nice car. I always loved it. Especially in that burnt orange color. To bad its not really mentioned that often. I read/heard from ppl who have at least test driven it that its to kit car-ish and way to expensive.

I didn't really like the car at first when looking at photos, but I had the opportunity to see one in person at our EOS meet and the car looks amazing! And very long too....

in today's world, we see many other cars do well without so many vents. that is why, i think, when we see an S7 nowadays the vents do nothing for us haha

i hate it because of that rear overhang. it's like a mile long! what do they got going on there that they couldn't engineer into that huge space between the back of the door and the rear wheels?
