I take exception to this statement Sameer ”The design is nothing radically new in terms of the aerodynamics or exo-skeleton shape”. The Facile doesn’t have seamless curves and with its weird wheels, I doubt if the car could ever match today’s F1 cars in speed and performance. I still believe, though, the design is eccentric. It may not be the most pleasing sight, but would still draw eyeballs.

I meant ”nothing radically new” as there have been scores of cars in the past few months that look all very alike and just starting to get the feeling that concept car designers are all going the same way. When you are designing a car which is for the future and your only individual identity is the exo-skeleton, then you might want to stand away from the crowd. For me Facile gets lost in there somewhere. Anyway, I do agree that its is no match whatsoever to F1 cars of today and is still a pretty fine concept.

I agree with that point Sameer. I feel all concept cars have started following a trend and end up looking contrived. Every car is trying to be radical but looks no different than the concept preceding it. Sad scenario, this!
