I've heard of function over form but....

I want to throw up every time I look at it, I don't feel the same way when looking at WRC cars, infact they are usually really good looking. Despite that not being part of the criteria for WRC cars Colin says this is supposed to look great....... Fail.

I'm sure it does the job but I can't stop myself from thinking it looks like some bad boy modded Ka :|

150K anyone?

WTF is 'R4some' supposed to mean? :confused:

Either way it does look a bit retarded but is inevitably stupidly quick.

Looks a bit like the ford puma. But i think to the writer R4some mean awesome????

The name of the car is R4.

They want to describe it as being awesome, so put the two together and get R4some!

The price for the initial 300bhp competition model will come in at approximately £150,000,

I know where I'd be spending my £150,000, and it wouldn't be on that thing!

It looks like a chaved up rover 200.

"Erm... yeah, nice motor, spend a lot at Halfords on that rubbish body kit?"
"£150,000"
" :eek:

"

I know it has 300bhp and I'm sure it will make a more than capable rally car, but why make it look like that???

If every motor-mad kid in the land were given a chance to draw their dream car — this is what they’d sketch.

Made me laugh quite hard.

I wonder why ICE RACING is in bold. Or WILL. Or 100 YEARS.

Bunka · 27 Jun 2007 at 15:47

Because it's dramatic and emphasises a point.

150k... I think I'll pass on that one thanks Mr. McRae.

...with black alloys supplying even more dynamic appeal.

Where do they get this drivel from?

The car mings. It looks like a binned Smart design.

I think it looks pretty cool, from the back reminds me of the new volvo hatchback for some reason.

Vibez · 27 Jun 2007 at 17:32

Can't wait to hear more about this, looks promising

InvaderGIR · 27 Jun 2007 at 17:57

The amount of body roll on cornering is appauling.

That thing is ugly, and not worth £150k!

I seen this in devlopment a year ago, it looks cack, but thats not the point.

What a hideous car, the front of it looks like it's unfinished.

Come to think of it it looks like a mule car that you typically see in those spy shots.
