These are quick and dirty photoshops of more preferrable colors (IMO).
Also, AutoCar has a video:

Is it just me or does it look current and fresh for 2003?
Sorry, but this is really not a particularly inspiring car. Hopefully it goes like Stink and cures cancer.

Looks almost identical to the Locus Plethore. Generic design, I call it.
Buying a car and not driving it is like buying a meal and not eating it.

hmm ... is it just me or does that wheel/dash look like it might be Logitech G29 sim steering wheel setup ?
WHy the "thing" about flappy paddles ?
Modern ones have nothing to do with the first versiosn which were on "auto" boxes.
THis is sitting on an SSG. So it has to be electronic ... or do you really want two clutch pedals and 2 gearsticks ?
If I've got complete control of the 'box and it shifts quicker than I could (!) then I'd want one so the car can be driven "closer" to the edge ( and keep a 70s Alpine to play full manual when I want )
Another video - this time a sneak preview by Jay Leno:

Nice final remark there!
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

Yes, Leno is always the opportunist for expanding his wonderful collection with the 'first' of something.
BBC offers a preview video as well here:

I mean even the way Leno said the name was robotic....
Where's the evocative supercar aspect? I mean even the SLR has a cool (albeit ripped off) name....

By the way isn't this a bit heavy for a small carbon fibred sportscar? The figure quoted is the dry weight, kerb weight or what?
Will they? That'd be strange. And probably no one will choose it.
That last sentence just answers your own question.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
