I remember seing the video for this ... after 3 seconds of spool up time .... all manifolds were bright yellow.

It's very novel, but it looks great I reckon.

It's different, but it doesn't look stupid.

I think it's well done.

Probably. It's a clean looking, well engineered vehicle. It's got eight turbos, not something you see every day.
