Why? Why not!*
First let’s have a look at the obvious flaws. It doesn’t have a robotized gearbox! The “purists” might argue about this problem but then why it’s used for years in Formula 1 and Rally car racings? Also, playing with 600+ HP by yourself is not an easy task, and there are a lot of complains about the way you start the car from stand-still because it is really easy to kill the engine.
And the second issue is the engine. It was praised by some, but is it that good? It might be, but my guts tell me that it is still a far-cry from what it could be! How? Easy, take an engine and two thirds from Porsche 911 GT3. A summary of the specifications of this engine is: 3.6 liters boxer 6 cylinders, 415 HP. Some math later and we will end with a 6 liters V 10 developing 691 HP. Well it is in another league than the real one: 5.7 liters V 10 developing 615 HP.
In an article I’ve read, it was said that the people will remember this car for long time. I have my doubts.* Why is not a Full Design? The theme of this blogs sequence.
