Hard to tell from that photo quite what it will end up looking like.

It looks 98% exactly as a Dallara

For mi is a Dallara with different mirrors and lights, then it's the same car. Very different approach than Mazda. It looks good with the painting.

For me it's nothing short of a huge disappointment when compared to that gorgeous Mazda.

Lot of mis-information in the S365 article.

I'm glad they got rid of the standard Dallara pontoon boat fenders.

I like the way they graphically divide the fin in half.

We know that Ligier was asked to modify his car for the Nissan engine, because it was too close to the original Ligier. Well, I can't imagine how closer you could be looking at this one.

Say what we want about the looks of the Cadillac. I, for one, am looking forward to the sound of a naturally aspirated, 600 bhp V8 in a sleek P car.

+1....I think the Caddy looks killer, and it will sound thunderous with a 6.2L V8 - a proper motor with a proper noise, not like these turbo motors that sound like a muffled fart......it honestly will not surprise me for this to turn out to be the engine to beat.....it will have colossal low-down torque, acceleration and corner exit speed will be its advantage.......my money is on this engine that causes the biggest BOP headache.

The Nissan fartbox V6 will also be a torque monster. It'll be interesting for sure.

The Caddy could sound dramatically different, as I noticed the exhaust exits at the top of the rear bodywork instead of ahead of each rear tire as years past. We'll know for sure in two weeks time. Like the look! Porsche 919 got there first tho.

Yep, it's the GT3 engine, which is a fartbox.

What do you think about the 919 by the way? I thought this was a really good read by the way (which is where the last 2 pictures are from): http://www.roadandtrack.com/motorspo...e-same-series/ |
