Indeed. In their defence, the person or persons responsible had done a great job of this -- including the interior. They should have painted it red.

right, so you can take you hands (which are holding your weight) and operate the touch screen with your gloves on as the thing bounces around?

aerodynamics that neglect the effect of the rider

seat that won't hold you in place when you crack the throttle or grab a handful of brakes

and retarded controls...

now i've seen arguably less practical concepts, but atleast they looked good.

only thing they got right was the V4

actually, KTM made a car - it uses an audi engine that audi won't put their badge on as there's not airbags (lol) - that is proving immesely popular in the "rich 40year man looking to blast orund trackdays in his porche" bracket due to it having the performance of a bike. carbon fibre monocoque chassis with a few dashes of ktm orange bodywork. 5 point harnesses, no roof, no doors, and semi open wheels.

weighs 790kg and does 0-100 in 2.5 seconds - all without abs or traction control; the way a car should be

basically motorcycle engineering taken to a car, and naturally it mops up while still being reasonably priced - even cheap when you consider all teh carbon in there!
