Not bad, I think it would like a tad better if the center intake was the same height as the ones on the side.

I'd like to see you in parking lot with that. That would be one expensive Starbucks trip!

@Mike made a pretty good front end rendering.

^I wouldn't mind that at all. If I had to point out one thing it would be the mustache looking bar under the nose. It makes it look a little funny.

Older article, but it does talk about the nose.

If it does go to production, expect some of the proportions to change: the width, the wider haunches in particular, and maybe the bulbousness of that probiscous snout. But if a production car were to be made, it would still be recognizable as an FT-1.

^^^I'm not surprised, none of the prototypes had the center section of the FT1 front bumper. I think it looks better with an intake in the center anyways.

I'm sure there will be tons of aftermarket front bumpers that will mimic the look of the concept.

my money is still on jalopnik's drawing. they nailed the vette and nismo le mans cars, so obviously they had a tip from someone who saw it first hand. the thing that they got wrong was the side of the car. subsequent spy photos have shown a much more sculpted side. but the "nose" of the car looks the closest to me.

Couldn't agree more man, I think this is going to be the closest as well.
It seems to be the cleanest of the renders I've seen. And very close to the mules running around.
Yes, granted this white render seems pretty close too, but it appears to have been done with the included cladding (fake panels) on it. So from certain angles the shape of the car, particularly at the front, don't look right.

But yes, the red Jalopnic render, by far looks to be the closest plausible image.

The problem I have with the Jalopnik render, aside from being very ugly, is that it looks like they're including the fake "shelf" at the bottom of the front bumper of the mule that looks to be part of a camo piece.

In the perfect world.. it would be this one (credit: 93supra):

Would absolutely love it if it was this one:

This one is my middle ground:

Would settle for this one:



Would be disappointed with this one (especially proportions)
