    That is great. Wonder if it handles like a 911? (Hopefully not)

    ^ yeah it really had a different body shape to it. Not your typical 911 look. It would seem that it would handle different than the 911 just by looking at the body and engine placement. 911's have their famous pendulum affect when driving... not that I really know, but this looks like it would handle more like a mid-engine car.
