Actually, it doesn't make me a hipocrite because no one will buy a £800k car

£800k is cheap, the one at Hudsons in Stoke Poges is £1.2m

To be fair to the designers though the way its looks it down on the list of priorities when designing something like this

Aerodynamics and high speed stability to name a few are the most important

It slike saying an F1 car looks ugly but its shape is like that for resaon and for that reason the ovreall shape over the last 20 - 30 years of F1 design has not changed that much

The same goes with airliners - look over the last 40 years and the fundamental designs for commerical aircraft have not changed really

This car was quoted as a waste of investment but in years to come affordable cars will evolve with the technology and design put into this car

Its a master piece and to think it can do a reportedly 272 mph is incredibale considering the event of the week just gone with Hamster in the jet powered car reaching 300 - 315 mph

Sorry Dave, it's not actually one of the 'Z' cars.

It's a ZT V8. It just gets called Zed.

All true, but the same applies to the McLaren F1, and that is the prettiest thing since the barmaid that served me last night.

Functional doesn't have to be offensive.

Look at the SR-71.
