What worries me the most about this car, is the wide open bottom grill. Any large rock that flies in there is going to destroy the radiator.

Thanks for taking pictures, this all but confirms that I'm going to wait until the LCI or Comp or hell, I see one in real life and it changes my mind. Much appreciated.

I zoomed in and looks like the black plastic grill should protect from large rocks but small ones moving at fast speeds will still make their way through. It's also going to trap bugs and leaves like crazy. I think the aftermarket community will still need to help make a mesh grill for an additional layer of protection that could attach/install right behind the vertical support pieces between the bumper and the lower lip to keep crap out of that big void.

Looks like there's a build in rad-guard, it protrudes 1/4 out from the cooling fins.

Oh wow! I have seen the car in person and noticed the grid from a distance, but never noticed what I just saw when I zoomed in on this pic. The radiator will be fine. I am highly confident this has been well tested.

Not to hijack your thread, but the dealership posted a short video

After cleaning and rotating our wheels yesterday, those wheels make me cry. So many nooks and crannies.

The high resolution pics make it clear that it's still an awful color on this car. I know plenty will love it, and I'm sure it's better in person (it can't be worse), but man…yikes.

Thanks for sharing this great pics. It confirms my feelings that I will probably love this color. Now I'm not sure if I want to go this way with black wheels and shadow pack or stay with the silver lights and bicolor wheels

Those wide side skirts, combined with the high bolsters on the carbon seats are going to be a HUGE pain to live with. No way I'd choose those carbon buckets for anything but a show or track car.
Those carbon buckets being powered instead of manually controlled adds to the silliness IMO. |
