Hybrid, light, awd, mid engine, low center of gravity, top down and a lot of hp. All things that make the perfect dream sports car. Amazing car and amazing technology, hopefully one day it will trickle down to cars that regular people can afford.

Just think what a fabulous car it would be if you tore out the 300+pounds of hybrid nonsense and the Camaro motor, and stuck in a Carrera GT V10 with a couple of 30 lb. turbos to get the equivalent BHP. Just sayin'. BTW, did she speak English?

Looks like a Boxster with R8-style sideblades to me...

I get the idea and the tech and all but I'd go Carrera GT and save myself $500,000.
