the rear end resembles the corvette, and the front end is just hideous. however, I'd take it if someone offered one to me for free

What is with those side vents

I should imagine that it combines a diffuser effect with some vortex generation to create an airflow that pulls the air out from the front brake cooling duct and then into the radiator intakes towards the rear.

The Porsche Carrera GT has quite a similar set up but with a larger vent area, probably relying less on vortex generation to pull more air in, insteat utilising the larger vent area.

It's just the way they designed it, it's just a big gash on the side of the body...
It just looks weird to me; probably because it's deeper and narrower than the Carrera GT's

It's a very functional car, I would guess their sculpted just for the car's performance. It doesn't have a lot of creature comforts inside if I remember. I wonder if those are C5 tailights, it uses an LS1.

indeed it is :) your rite.

instead of on the bonnet (forgetting the fact that the engine is not there :P) the front end is waayyy to pitch sensitive etc... and a big hole would just be plain stupid lol but these side vents are very well designed and clever... i believe the car also has a front splitter/diffuser set up which would explain the exit on the side vent :)

Mosler MT900S #8 - Just a couple shots.

This black one is the first Mosler MT900S delivered to a customer (The first two MT900S production road cars remain in-house Mosler vehicles). It belongs to none other than George Lucas.
