    I really love the retro cars like this that we've seen a couple of now, like Hyundai's N74, which sadly won't see production, but also had that amazing retro design from the 1974 concept car designed by the guy who designed the DeLorean.
    And while I'm not a fan of the windows and the color of this R5, I do love most of everything else, and I love the kinda cyberpunk 80s retro details, like the LEDs in the front that flicker with kinda 80s reminiscent patterns and colors, too bad it's very unlikely to be road legal with that because it's such a cool touch, that's if there'll ever be a road going production version of this, I really wish there would, even if I wouldn't be able to afford one, just seeing them on the road would make me happy.
