DeviantArt Design Challenge Winner 2014: Love It or Hate It?

The opinions I’ve heard on the DeviantArt Design Challenge car have been mixed, in that some ClubLexus members kind of hate it, and other members really hate it. Personally, I like a lot of the elements. The BASF Ultra White paint should be a factory option–it doesn’t shoot well but looks wicked in person–and the mustard yellow wheels pair with it well.


The BASF Ultra White paint should be a factory option–it doesn’t shoot well but looks wicked in person–and the one-off mustard yellow three-piece forged wheels from Nutek pair with it well. I also like the fact that there are beefy Brembos GT brakes at all four corners–as should anyone who’s ever come in to a corner too hot. But Robert Evans’ aero package seems a bit much, and I hesitate to even call anything with widebody elements an aero package, because giant flares don’t help make anything more slippery.

But that’s just my opinion. Check out the photos below and decide for yourself.
