I understand how the fairly radical styling (especially front bumper cover/air intake area) is polarizing. I do have to give them credit for taking a daring and revolutionary sort of approach. One of the biggest questions I have it weight. I couldn't find a shred of anything on that or on the base RC 350 weight either. If the car is rated precisely on power and assuming the new M4 has about 455 hp (30 hp underrated) this car could weight as much as 3720 (full fluids, with driver) and still enjoy the same power to weight ratio as the M4. I suspect the car won't weigh that much and thus is likely to have a better power to weight ratio. This leads me to believe the car may best the M4 in a straight but still get bested on a track. It is definitely something for me personally to keep an eye on for potential future ownership.
