Fari you bastard.

Some warning would have been nice.

You know an LP640 makes me jizz in my pants...

I'm damn lucky there was no-one standing in the way...

Anybody got a working keyboard they don't want anymore?

Ya know, I rather like doors that open up like that. What are the drawbacks? Not as good seals or what? Seems a lot nicer and efficient then all swinging the door out.
They are garish and ridiculous.
WHAT IF NOONE EVER TOLD YOU THAT DOORS ARE SUPPOSED TO OPEN SIDEWAYS
WHOA

Dude that is some deep shit

My mind, it is blown

The problem with scissor doors is that the best way to get a good seal and keep out the weather and wind/road noise (in short, improve NVH) is to use a framed window. That is why Subaru is going away from frameless windows. They are also much more expensive and difficult to engineer than conventional hinges. Some luxury sports cars (chiefly Lamborghini) had their own version which works better in more situations, but is even more expensve and difficult to engineer than scissor doors.

When you open a scissor door in, say, a high-rise or underground car park and the window frame hits the ceiling while the door is only halfway open, you have to crawl out the little gap at the bottom... Not a good look, or good for your back.

Oh my god, its too bad if it ever makes it to market it'll never have anywhere near that level of detailing.

But I think the grille would look silly with a small logo.

Man it seems like I would go sit in that passenger seat and then I would wake up 8 months later and that car has taken me to the surface of Mars.

I find it pretty funny that on the dashboard sat nav system they picked Detroit as the destination.

A subtle, yet appreciated, flip of the bird.

NaS, this is Fari you're talking to.

In the car thread.

He doesn't do jokes here.

That Infiniti has no mirrors. In the future do you not need to see behind you?

That concept could only be worse if it was an Alfa.

There are odd little notches that look a bit like dog ears on the a column over the doors. They could have cameras in them.

I've seen some tech demo stuff with little monitors inside the car instead of external mirrors.

Infiniti has 360 degrees of camera coverage as an option on all their models.

Oh, neat. I'm not sure where the monitors for those mirrors would fit into that sexy dash though.

Later today in Geneva, Aston Martin will officially unveil the One-77, which represents all the brand has to offer in terms of craftsmanship and engineering. The front-engine, rear-wheel-drive supercar features a very special version of Aston Martin's 6.0L V12 engine that's been tuned by the legendary motor mavens at Cosworth. Enlarged to a full 7.3 liters of displacement, the One-77's V12 is a full 25% lighter than the engine on which it's based while producing in excess of 700 bhp.

It could just be the blacked out...well, everything, but I can certainly say that is not my favorite Aston Martin of all time.

I'm sure it's a fantastic car, but the design just doesn't seem as elegant as their other cars.

no, it looks like it'll tear through your garage door and barrel up the street screaming for blood

I like it
