Another difference is the practicality, which is a must have in a street legal car. Nearly 99% of all concept cars has simple body panels and interior pieces that are just GLUED OR WEDGED PERMANENTLY, with no way to remove them in case of damage or regular servicing. Quite the contrary, a street legal car has to be fully dismountable, i.e. LOTS of mounting points, holes, plates, trims, etc has to be implemented into the chassis, body panels and interior.
@bavsha Usually the development of a street legal sports car costs at least 3-10 times more money than any concept car for car shows. I design and build car plugs for living since 8 years and experienced various expenses that usually are not seen in a concept car. Take for example the chassis - to produce series of exactly the same chassis, you first develop a chassis jig, which alone is 2-10 times the cost of the chassis. With concept cars, it's fine if you build just the one chassis.
true...wanted to say, if you buy any known sports car, it will be cheaper than this prototype....but companies invest much more money into developing production vehicles...It must be safe, concept car does not need to be safe, that is why they can go more creative and free in design, and not respecting crash test requirements...

it's better in silver (or even clay-colour) than in red. I don't like the chrome elements, they are too bling bling (especially the rims are ugly)
Furthermore, great car!
