Seems practical

When the groceries just need that extra speed. *flamesuit*

Saw one like this today (although stock, of course). What a sweet sound this car makes.

Aerodynamics look good. If you are going to go that fast, it is a good thing.

I imagine driving this thing is like water skiing on a wave of torque.

I know! Let's try to put 834HP and an actual Moon's worth of torque to the road through the absolute thinnest tires we can find. It'll be awesome.

Not that I'm advocating for drag tires (they probably wouldn't hurt) but the painted-on rubber around enormous wheels needs to die. There is no way they need what look like 20-inch rims. I'd bet 19's would still clear the bigger brakes, and if not, then the bigger brakes are probably too big anyway.

I can't find the appeal either. It looks wrong, feels bad and doesn't really add anything.
