The front end looks like it crashed... ?

[luciddaydream]

I love this car, and think it looks pretty darn good from all angles.

But sometimes I see people on Youtube comments etc, saying it looks like the car's front-end just got smashed.

Does it look less like this in person?

I think the front looks badass and I guess I shouldn't care what people think.. but, I mean, I guess i kinda do, hehe.

I've heard that before too. It looks amazing in person and those boomerang vents are functional and awesome in my eyes. The Emira is one of the most beautiful sports cars ever produced IMO.

Yeah I know I think the front vents are badass.

I think I have heard this once in an old review. Given how many times I have looked at the pictures of this car, I have never gotten that sense, ever.

I have no idea what you’re talking about or indeed why you care about what some moron on YouTube thinks.

Yes it looks nothing like that in person. Just about everyone swoons when they see it. It is a staggeringly beautiful car.

Thanks Andrew.

I’ve had mine mistaken for a Ferrari.
More than once.
How could anyone other than out of jealousy say that it’s ugly?

Multiple people I’ve known not even into cars have asked if the front end is supposed to look like it was in an accident. It’s a thing, as long as you don’t care it doesn’t matter much. At least they’re not giant angry bird bmw kidneys up front.

Didn't the Throttle House guys point out the similarity to Voldemort's nose? Once seen...hard to unsee!

I agree that when I first saw the car, to my eye the hood vents were the only mildly awkward part of the design. Once I understood the reason for the design (better cooling; downforce on the car at speed; airflow management around the side of the car) and compared it to the hood vents on the Evora/Exige/Elise, I came to appreciate Russell Carr's solution. I love the fact that all of the vents/scoops/aero on the Emira are there for a reason and fully functional. It still remains one of the most beautiful modern production cars in recent memory (that has to comply with current global regulatory safety requirements).

A bit UK-centric but you can’t unsee this….

Is that Rod Hull and his emu?

Yes - just before it attacked Michael Parkinson….

Remember him guesting on the Tonight Show when I was a kid - funny stuff!

Haha, yup! James is a member here and was actually referencing an old post of mine after my wife told me it looked like Voldemort!

Function over form is why

It’s my goal in life to teach Americans how to say “emu” correctly.

The car in real life looks properly sexy and not crashed. I showed a friend mine and she couldn’t believe a car like it existed. “The most beautiful car I’ve ever seen.”
