1. Ugly
2. VW id.4-inspired IP ?
3. What’s up with all the stupid buttons and knobs on the “steering control”?
4. They’ve eliminated the Sync 4 Screen? WTF?

oh, did I mention it’s ugly?
All that no bitching about the frunk reduction?

I kinda think looks are beside the point. (Though I actually think it looks bad ass, and at least the huge wing spoiler serves a function - unlike the Rally)

Ok, I get the wing, but what is the huge cow catcher on the front for?

It's called a front splitter. It's an aerodynamic aid that produces downforce. The reason that the rear wing and the splitter are so gigantic is due to the altitude the car was designed to race at. Thinner air creates less downforce than air at sea level. ??

Pudel, quit talking about all that technical nonsense; it's for catching yellow-bellied marmots.

LOL the splitter on that thing is big enough for me to catch some rays on. Hmmm… frunk for chillin’ and splitter for sun bathing. Every canine’s dream. ??

On that crappy little id.4 IP? You’d be lucky to fit two digits on that panel, let alone 3!

Jim..... for the first time in almost 5 years, I am going to disagree with you! I think it's an extremely beautiful car! So much so I have to see it in person. ?

If the 7 month development time is true, that is miraculous. I spent 25 years in OEM (not Ford) product development, so I'm skeptical.... ?

Regardless, it's an impressive effort. Will be fun to see what it does on the hill. ?

Just plain wicked.

Just as last year's Pikes Peak project.
I spent this morning looking for a word to describe it. Never did come up with anything. Then I saw your post and WICKED is exactly the word I was looking for. ?
