I'll reserve my judgement until I see Jeremy Clarkson pull it to bits.

I think it could use a few more F1-type winglets and barge boards to make it look more "technical". What's underneath (engine and chassis) or is this mostly for looks?

I'd also like to see body and roof with a single color.

Is the company any relation to the late Dennis Hulme (ex-factory McClaren driver of the 60-70's)?

I agree, it needs something. Fairly ugly the way it sits. Maybe it looks better in real life.

How about this? Looks a bit hokey, but I'll bet it's a blast to drive to the grocery store.

I wish the New Zealander best wishes in this project. It seems to have some engineering involved - doesn't look like a typical cobbled up kit car. It sounds expensive too.

Yeah, it'll be expensive.

It was on show nearby recently, and I just couldn't get up the enthusiasm to go see it. I looked at it at 30kph as I rode past on my bike.... what has become of me?
