Wow, so ugly, one after the other, ugly and more ugly. What the hell is going on in the world of car styling?
I was hoping to see a GT-R... :) Still, the Infiniti Q60 Project Black S seems pretty impressive. Not to mention the Regera, though.
First picture, it's meant to be 'second-gen Super Series'
That is indeed correct Mohammed! Thanks for the heads-up. Too much time spent looking at 540Cs recently...
