Aero killing individuality?

In reply to Keith Tanner :

When you think about it those big old cars could carry a lot of battery. Also didn't Neil Young have an electric Lincoln of that era?

edit: found a web site turns out it's a hybrid http://www.lincvolt.com

Found this in an old copy of the Japanese magazine Car Styling.  Turns out the Lexus SC400 design was actually based on a blob.

Super cars have always been aerodynamic looking. 

This topic has been coming up for at least 20 years. The answer is no.

Warning: this is an opinion. It's worth what you paid for it.

This is why supercars don't look as cool as they used to.

Supercars shouldn't be slaves to aero. Supercars should say "berkeley you, aero. I've got horsepower."

Supercars without aero have slow laptimes so no.

just remember we have something today that no other generation had.. "retro cars" The Beatle, 500, Mini, PT Cruiser, HHR, and others come to mind.

But the only people that care about lap times are teenagersand automotive journalists.  Real supercars' purpose is for the owner to be seen, and to do that you must drive slow.
