I like the exterior design. As for the interior I'm not so sure; and it's getting difficult to get inside modern cars today...it seems like (some of them).
The inside looks like an arcade game, a computer circus ride, a mono "Han Solo" cockpit.
You'll be the judge ...

Actually center driving seat in road car isn't that new, McLaren F1's been around almost 30 years. This is more recent:


Seems to tick all the boxes too:
  • Center seat: yes
  • Exposed inboard suspension: yes
  • Square steering wheel: yes
  • Luxury features: carbon-ceramic rotors available as option, fire suppression system and master kill switch too :)

In the video she said it's the "racing driver" mode. ...Like a racing motorcycle, except on four wheels instead of just two, and covered all around, of course...with a side door (driver) working, and inside safety "door ramp" (she tried to climb over), and a full roof.

Looking @ it again I like the exterior design. Inside it's a very different story with that single seat that moves sideways...not particularly my bag. But, she also said that it can be outfit with a passenger seat and a passenger door that works. The car seems to be narrower than the norm (width), so for two riders (driver & passenger) it could be cozy ...

The BAC isn't like a race car. It is a formula car that somehow got certified as street legal. It does have a street mode though, in which they even put a speedometer on the display :)

Keeping precious antique like that is rather large responsibility. A new Ford would probably be easier:



Made right here in Toronto by the way...

Ford GT generations comparison:


The GT40 is a precise replica rather than the real thing, but close enough... I've met a middle one once, parked on the street, when that generation was current. Beautiful. Would imagine the current generation would be even more so. As for Le Mans, Ford seems to have given up on the platform for the upcoming WEC Hypercar regulations. So what are they going to do?
