Rinspeed has a long standing trackrecord on making freaks out of Porsches...

I have yet to see something from Rinspeed that did not offend my senses in some way.

I definately like it, few things odd, but I could live with them. I've wanted to do a car with polycarbonite body panels for a long time. The car's styling made me think Porsche 911 in reference to your "looks like some other car". Mainly the door lines. Aside from the vents, this car's styling is incredibly unbroken and unobtrusive, its simply a realy good shape with all the features playing in the background, the tailights blend in, etc. Some designers love to make "features" stand out, this is different.

I likes.

Click the link.

Car isn't perfect, but I like it. Few styling tricks on the front I *could* do without, but odds are they are part of the super century design, and we must transcend future! Erhm, I mean they may be part of weight savings.

hmm...not wild about the vents in the valence..again, it's like they lost imagination when they got there and just made the 'bars look'. guess it's functional, just not aesthetic.
