Why in the hell does the passenger need a gauge cluster of any sort?

The exterior is ok, but the extra window below the door handles? I suppose that's to give a passenger a nice view while giving "road head."

The dash seems overstyled, but I almost like the side mirror camera screens on the sides of the dash instead of out the windows. Though it's a bit more complex than necessary. I agree the dashboard guages cluster in the passenger seat is silly. If they want to give the passenger info, I could see sat/nav stuff, individual climate control, or a TV screen. What possible good is having a second speedo unless the passenger is a parent/driving school teacher trying to keep tabs on a beginner driver.

I am enamored with it, inside and out. I love the passenger gauge cluster, especially if it's actually a monitor that can be tethered to a portable device.

Where's the photos of this "Then again, Giugiaro did bring another copy of the Brivido to Geneva in a Martini racing livery..."? The exterior of that thing looks like what you would get if a Lamborghini f*** a Ferrari. Camera idea is cool but those floating screens look dumb.

I don't like it.
The ugly wheels being painted red doesn't help either.
