Looks awesome.

Those aren't renders, it was caught testing at the Nürburgring in a black/white version of the livery not too long ago.

WOW! 918 is gorgeous enough as is, then add this and even more so. Best looking car made (or going to be made) in a while.

Front is not aggressive enough, but the rest is amazing.

1700 kg makes it at once less beautiful. If I had the money, I would buy it, because I like it, but I would stripp down all the hybrid stuff and FWD, and get a 4.7l NA V8 making 570 PS and weighing 1300 kg. Then it will be a nice car, a good 458 Italia rival, but trice the price.

458 italia? That car has trouble with a turbo S let alone this car. This car will be rivaled by the upcoming F70. And by then hopefully Porsche has their new top end model that will be even better. Ferrari has nothing on this car. Ferrari's best car cant compete with this in looks or performance.
Mind you a 458 italia weighs 3500 lbs and doesnt have any of the hybrid stuff so the fact that this car is going to weight 3600-3700 lbs is amazing. Plus knowing Porsche this car put down power as if it has 800+ hp.
This car is THE pinnacle of the future of performance/hybrid engineering. It will take every other manuf. at least 3-5 years to catch up to where Porsche is now.
