Default You guys gotta see this, original or copycat design ....

Hi guys....
Check out the three photos. This sports car was debuted at the most recent auto car show in Detroit . For me, its almost an exact mirror copy of the F Type coupe. You be the judge. The car is called, FORCE 1.
You can find it on Google. I took pics from my PC screen.

There are "some" design echoes in the front, hood but otherwise... not so much. Fisker and GM designed it. Limited production only about 100 cars, 21" wheels. Being touted as the "pure american sports car that doesn't have to make excuses". What the heck that is supposed to mean I have no idea.......$250K to start.......with a champaign glass holder....makes me wonder who has time for champagne in a sports car.

Yes, the Fisker looks like a cartoon caricature of the F-Type. At 3 times the cost of my F-Type, it needs to do better.

I think they lost their minds with the champagne bottle holders. WTF ... are they promoting drinking & driving ???? Imagine the look on the cop's face when he pulls over this car and takes notice of 2 magnum champagne bottles setup in the car. I laughed when I saw the booze bottles.

They were a bit ridiculous in a few details, but I bet this car will be a laugh riot to drive.

Technically they did. Looks like a new financial backer and idea with the same designer.

Exterior looks like a Dodge Viper mated with an F-Type.

It's a little busy but looks good overall. At that price point though it's going to be available to very few...obviously. Doubt I'll ever see one in Oregon.

And a Corvette crossed with a Maserati.

There's a good reason for that - underneath the skin, the car IS a Viper. They threw a carbon fiber skin on it, figured out how to fit a paddle-shifted tranny and upped the HP to 750 from the Viper V-10 (it's basically a computer, heads and cam package on top of the base Viper motor). In my opinion, the car's not as good looking as a Gen V Viper or an F-Type and the mods they did to the interior look cheesy as all get-out.

I like it. But not at that price.

Admittedly, I would never drink *&* drive... but I have a delirious propensity for bubbles and my friends will appreciate this. LOL

That leather interior is easily the greatest I have ever seen. Sorry to be hyperbolic. The car is too busy. Viper + Jag + Merc + Camaro ick.

But wow the interior
