It looks like an 8C Competizione ran into the back of a Callaway C12.

I like it.
 
Seems much more tame than their usual designs, I guess its because its for proper production. I see a lot of Ferrari FF in there (even though this is a 2 door) with a Jag C-X75 nose.
 
Poor Maseratti GT front, mated to a poor Alfa 8C rear end... the proportions are not very nice, and the wheels and stance are poor too!
 
I like the looks of it but something is definately up with the wheels. Either they need to be bigger or the car needs to be lowered.
 
It looks awesome in that one particular picture, but...

Good god is it ugly. The intakes and vents at the front are terrible and gaudy, the wheel openings on the front fenders are too big and don't fit right, because the car's belt line is so high the wheels look tiny, and that particular Momo steering wheel is one of the worst designs they've ever come up with.

The only good parts of this design are the hood surface, headlights, cut line, and exhaust tips. The rest needs to go back to the drawing board.

EDIT: They couldn't even change the Corvette shift knob, really?

This car predates both of those show cars by at least a year and a half. These photos are from March 2009.
 
Don't know why but I think Zagato is stretching 8C Competiziones and selling them as different cars.
 
Wheelarches, you're doing it wrong.

The overall shape is indeed similar to a 8C, which is a good starting point. The vents and details are just ruining the harmony, though. Overall, it's pretty bland.
