Very nice design... looks Italian, almost! One thing I dislike is how the shape of the front fenders makes the wheels look incredibly small. That's an easy fix though

It does! Kind of looks like a little Aston Martin or Jag vert but at the fraction of the cost.

Being strict on the details! But it shed over 200 pounds and has achieved 50/50 weight distribution!

Damn that's sexy!!!!!

Over 200lbs lighter than the last car is rather remarkable as well, considering how much more stringent crash regulations are getting.

As for engines, I'm sure its going to offer either the 2.0 or 2.5 inline four found in the Mazda 3
