It’s atrociously hideous. That is all.

Not a fan of the rear end, but the rest I like a lot.

I projectile vomited when I saw it. Not keen on repeating the experience.

Yeah t he rest of it is nice but the rear is the worst thing I’ve seen since that Russian supercar from some years ago.

Meh. It's not terrible, but it seems very uninspired. Nothing particularly "lotus" about it, which is a shame. 

I like how they seemed to brag about a 0-60 that they “hoped” would be under 3 seconds.

Lol. That’s not impressive anymore in the super/hypercar world. Work on 2 seconds.

We’ve got a luxury sedan (model S) that can do it in 2.3, a crossover (model x) that can do it in 2.7, an economy car (relatively, model 3) that hits 60 in 3 seconds flat...hel l, we had GTR’s doing it in 2.7 seconds... 6 years ago!

I think it’s great

The underbody aero is nuts, look at that multi element wing hiding under there!

The taillight detail is one of the first I’ve seen fully take advantage of LEDs form factor.

Is it revolutionary... maybe not entirely. It combines bits of Ford GT (tunnel “porous” airflow through the vehicle), aspects of Ferrari (Enzo looking greenhouse, and a bit of 812 on the front ) and some aura of McLaren in general, and electric to join the hype machine around Tesla Roadster Mk II, and Pininfarina Battista.

But it pulls it all together. Well.

Maybe it isn’t as achingly gorgeous as the DeTomaso P72, but it is hardly a bad design.

My only complaint... irrelevance. nearly 2 million bucks, nearly 2 thousand horsepower, less than 200 to be built... it might as well be a museum exibit, and probably will be seen by fewer people than that.

But I disagree with “ atrociously hideous.”
