Finally, new pics surface, with new front and rear bumper treatments.

i really like how they did the LED turn signals in the front bumper. But I’m not really feeling the gills in the rear bumper, although they do look to be functional for the rear brakes so I guess it’s fine. overall that is one sexy looking automobile. ---

[quote=“MaximaSE98,post:4,topic:25909"”] i am sure the vents are functional for cooling reasons [/quote] Turbos/exhaust should be right around there. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were problems with melting bumpers otherwise. That would be a LOT of heat. ---

Aparently that rear bumper and wing treatment are finalized, but the front bumper still has some camo and the wheels will be changed on the production version. But we’ll have to see. Reports are still saying 500-550+bhp and 2-300lbs less weight. ---
