It is utterly utterly mad!!

Love the turbine but the looks are…. um…. challenging?!

i dont mind the looks, they are quite unique but its all for a purpose, i have a stronger issue with the price - but only cause I cant afford it!

Looks better, as do the other Ariel products, with the coloured panels, breaks up the blackness, price is (for me anyway)

I think the early 'bland' design looked better with the contrasting panels - is just me or does it have a bit of a mini batmobile vibe?

It’s reassuring that it’s sub million.

Depends on the spec though

Batmobile crossed with a Senna crossed with a Homermobile….I think McMurtry did it a bit more elegantly.

Looks wise that is truly awful in my meagre opinion, a real mess. I'm actually struggling to imagine how it could look worse without being an obvious piss take.

Just utterly bizarre, everything about it. And not in a positive way.

I'm waiting .. most prototypes look dreadful .. body panels are relatively crude 3D printed 'plastic' just to give some weather protection etc at this stage. The mockups with some body colour already look 100% better imo.

My main worry is that if it's costing as much as stated, not many will be able to afford it - me for one
Talk of 100-150 per year seem reather hopeful?
