It’s an all-electric hypercar concept called the Mission X:

From the front it looks too much like the Lotus Evija.

I’m sure Billionaires around the world will be wetting themselves while ringing their dealers for build slots.

Just another boring hypercar to me. The world is saturated with them, and none are special anymore. No interest at all.

Amazing looking beast.

Bet that if it ever makes it into production it will look nothing like the images we currently can see.

My back has gone into spasm just thinking of how I would get out of the thing.

If that had a Ferrari or Maclaren badge on it nobody would know the difference- pointless…

Have got to say that it, and hyper cars like it leave me pretty cold. The more at least vaguely attainable stuff is far more interesting, at least to me anyway

+1. Hyper cars don’t do it for me either. Just fantasy stuff for 99.99% of us.

I just prefer to drool over GT3s and Ferrari Romas. ;)

Roma's are exquisite aren't they. I wasn't particularly taken with them when I saw them online, but then one passed me in the street. It looked like something out of the future, like a Star Wars type of ship - like the very elegant ones in The Phantom Menace (a regrettably average film), and I was instantly in love

I really like them. Possibly almost as usable in real life as our 911s. :)

One visits my street occasionally, belonging to the Dad of a neighbour. 8-)

Not this car, but pretty sure it’s this colour:

Very nice. It's the side profile that I love so much.

Think it would be pretty useable. The only thing that might bother me is the length of the bonnet at junctions, but I guess people get used to it
