Oh so they've made the wheels wider part? Wonder why they've done that. :CJJ:

The front in kinds OK, the back not so good, and neither seem to gel together very well... but as I said at the start it is a very well done car.


You might call it a postmodern prometheus - lot of work went into it but the results are all over the place. The front - gorgeous imho but the side skirts and rear don't suit the F & don't suit the new front either. I think the second version is better because they ditched the rear (nice rear lights to!) but it still looks like two cars joined together. Ashame because I love it but you can't ignore it. :frown:

If you increase the track, you increase the grip/stability on cornering, but it does have a trade off in other areas.

Adding spacers increases the distance between the loadbearing wheel and the suspension/wheel bearing, which will increase the loading on these components. Ideally, the whole of the suspension should be moved to increase the track, not just the wheel.

I think this is the influence, rather than Porsche.

Unfortunately if I had that car I wouldn't be looking back at it in pride when I parked it, it would be more like pity. A bit like if you had left the elephant man tied to lampost while you went into a shop. :crazy:
