Just because this is a concept/protype doesn't make it ok to look ugly, or ok to be underpowered. To me a concept car is supposed to be a showcase for something usually a new design style, technology, safety feature or whatever. What is new in Frems car? What is he showcasing? The car is ugly we all agree, the car is underpowered we all agree, whats left? The only reason he is in the media or going to detroit is because he is from Lebanon.. to the west thats exotic but if he was based in London for example would he have made it to Detroit? would he have gotten any attention? I think its good for the guy and because of this publicity he probably will have a bright future but thats not whats being discussed here. The car, as a concept car just has nothing going for it.

Dude I don't wanna beat a dead horse here, the car is not a mere combination of body parts, it is a car from the frame to the styling thats whats making it unique, there are plenty of kit cars out there you can buy for 5,000$ and smack it on a frame. And as mentioned in Autoblog it is a Prototype, which in lame man term it does not necessarely need to have V10 engine, nor does it reflect the final product. True there is a long way to the final product, however this is a step in the right direction for a country with Zero Natural resources. Furthermore it is an excellent self marketing tool that might get some investors to back this commited individual in moving towards brighter and bigger projects.

Wind tunnel or no wind tunnel, e-Design or not... its just plain UGLY! Thats what makes it FUNNY! It looks bad and the rest of the spec just drags it down.
