I absolute abhor this car - I think it is so full of design faults and
just does not hang together at all well.
That said, those propeller wheels are FANTASTIC!!! What an utterly
cool design 8)

There won't be a hatch - but there'll be an Estate...

But I'm not a farmer...

Nice enough car, but cumbersome large. I understand that it is now over 5m.
The only reason for the length I can see is marketing; it has to be longer
than the mondeo and insignia underlings.

Interior space, safety and better ride...

Looks like the suspension setup still needs to be sorted on prototype.
See happens later in video on the track.

Any pointers, coz' I don't see any problems...

The fast cornering when on the track looks a bit untidy.

Have you seen the curve and surface? Sportscars will show the exact same
bahavior...
johannes
The car is probably too soft for this track, but that is always a compromise.
I prefer my road car to be compliant rather than overtly sporty sprung. Think
of the usage of the car in most situations. Some luxury cars have settings
for different suspension modes.
