You need to see it in the flesh to see the quality of the fit and finish. It's fantastic and can't be knocked until you see one.

Secondly it was designed as a TRACK CAR that can be driven to the track and not a road car that can be used on the track so the shape was designed around that purpose and that purpose alone. It wasn't meant to look all nice like a Ferrari and as you can see by watching any videos or reading results they did a bloody good job of it. It does exactly what they wanted and incredibly well.

Road car designers are not race car designers Different priorities. It's over 10 secs faster round the ring than the ACR so they obviously know a little more about it then you or me.
