Not really that impressed. Some angles are bland, some are busy. Front end is too much, rear end isn't enough, and the wheel choice is pretty uninspiring.

I say 6 out of 10.

for a concept car i think it looks really good. concept cars are far from production or so

too bad they don't have specific info on the brakes like brands, but i do love those brakes

Those wheels look bigger than 20s. The front bumper reminds me of a s class.

car lowered a lot + no lip on wheels = wheels look bigger

I kinda like how they left the front handles alone, i bet they were going for the COUPE look, from far away with this dark in color, no one can tell anyway

I just hate the color scheme... dark gray and orange??
