In photo #2 it looks like a crayfish. But in photo #4 it looks pretty cool. Call it what you like but I bet it is a blast to drive.

Another dream car!! Just perfect, the whole concept of it. ... by the way "La cucaracha" is Mexican not Spanish.

Very nice, the only problem i have is the cockpit sticking out to much and the windscreen pillars are very close to the driver and are thick this could inpare visibility.

I think the engine choice is not smart for this type of car. a nice twin turbo V6 will shave more weight and allow it to accel faster with less of wheel spin.

I agree, look how heavy this thing is for what it is with only one seat, having the v6 twin turbos would give it far more advantages, as you said accelerate faster, turn faster and stop faster, save fuel etc etc and more room left maybe for a second seat, Pzigly where would you put the engine if you were designing a super performer in the back center or the front center??

For all wheel drive front center. For rear drive rear center. It actually depends where the weight is before the engine is put in. I like a finished car to have between 50-60% weight in the rear, and 40-50% in the front. Also front mid is easier to work on and easier to build. I prefer it a little more also, since drag would be reduced when u have less air vents. rear mid introduces a complicated cooling system. I like an engine that can breath as much as possible.
