The proportions seem fucked up. It's looks way wider up front?

It's got a good wheelbase to track ratio for good stability at speed. As far as I know no one actually cars if the front wheels actually turn or not, because all I hear about are power to weight and straight line figures.

i can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but isn't handling something that lotus is known for??

I'm just saying that I haven't really heard much about the handling, and everything seems to focus on top speed and how much power it has. I'm just not sure they're really focusing on handling just based on the media stuff I've seen so far. It's based on a Lotus product, but it's a highly modified Lotus product so who knows what the end result is..?

If you think that Hennessy is actually going to produce this raise your fucking hand so I can come over and slap you.

Within 5 years I bet you hear about people that gave him their Lotus to convert and never got anything and then got their car back with parts stripped off it.

lotus is definitely known for handling, the only reason this car doesn't appeal to me is exactly what you're talking about. hypothetically, if i were to buy a lotus i would want control just as much as speed. this car hauls ass in a straight line but doesn't that get boring after a while? i like the concept because it's a bad ass motor but henessey could have chosen a better platform to utilize.
