Chris Wilson Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Adrian Reynard has turned out winning race cars in a diverse arena of formulae, and has now turned his hand to a track day car that is supposed to have the highest downforce of any product anywhere near its market price. He has just announced a road legal version. Whilst the concept of very light weight, affordable small power units, and a compact design with oodles of downforce ticks all my boxes concept wise, I feel this founders on its looks, it just doesn't gel at all in my opinion. What do you think? http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=22334 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 It has the looks only a mother could love! Fugger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Backend lights just look cheap..... Aside from that, looks like it could be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Aside from the mahoosive rear wing and crappy looking roll bar it looks like it'll do the job nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Its designed to function not look nice Looks like it could be alot of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Now that's just plain silly:blink: loose the wing & spliter we might be half way there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 You know what, I actually quite like that, it looks purposeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Whats wrong Chris? Not bling enough for you?? Attention forum; CW could be on the cusp of devolving. I shudder at the possible consequences. A Lola F3000 decked out in Burberry cannot be a pretty sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Looks like it could pull a wheelie..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 And they worry about bonnet heights when they let something like this pass the IVA! That wing on the back could easily chop someone's head straight off or the front splitter would take a good clean swipe at your ankle! I won't doubt their claims they have been in the business a long time as Chris mentioned. Must be brutal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I like it, not too far from the looks of a Westfield XTR2 which I also like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 With a rear wing like that its obviously not had good design in terms of rear grip from the chassis alone. If you're going to build a customer purchase track car then surely you have to make it appealing in both performance AND looks ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Its looks like a childs design thats been vacuum moulded in one piece. I wonder if, for cheapness of production, they have actually made it as a one piece fibreglass mould. Far too long in the tail, ridiculous spolier and the front air dam, splitter thing looks like the mould hasn't been properly cut out.

Matt H Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 It's not hard to see where all that downforce comes from! It does look like a bad case of testicular fungus on a fat mans ball bags though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 It's ugly, end of.... However it has potential.... A bit like Susan Boyle.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'd have one, looks like great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
