i think it's beautiful...but the exhaust sucks.
i was going to say there isn't much i can see in in the way of improvement unless they redesign the whole car - and whaddya know!
i wanna see interior shots though.

I have always hated the Enzo. Crazy-ass performance, but downright butt-ugly for that kind of money. Didn't like it the first time I saw it, and it hasn't grown on me, either. My first look at this car, and it takes my breath away. Gorgeous. Pininfarina...what else needs to be said? I like the wheels. I think I understand the context, and heritage of where those come from. Reminds me vaguely of the old Campagnolo 5-spokers--or "Daytonas" or whatever you call them. On the exhaust pipes, I was thinking "good ship lollypop," so I agree those are goofy. I wonder why they felt compelled to so defy convention, there? Has to be some technical reason. 
Function before fashion.

The exhaust is unique. I guess this is one of the concept drawings.

Maybe they create turbulance of the air under the car. The stream over the car goes above them.

Well dammit, I just went to look for my most recent Car and Driver (has an article about this car), and it seems someone has "borrowed" it. I could have sworn I saw a pick in there of the rims being made, and in the center they were not glued (so to speak) together. You could tell it was CF then. I wonder if the prototypes were different than the ones they put on the final car? Where are you getting this from?
