Some kind of "feature" after the front wheel seems to me a thing.  Can anyone name the brand of this one?

Looks like a Jag to me.

:)  Here is a fairly cheap quasi-exotic looking vehicle.

Y'all laugh, but the Miata has proven to be a heck of a track car over the years. It may not be a "supercar", but it's a hell of a lot more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. 

I'm guessing the Supra would be a hoot on the track.

I agree, the CTS-V was somewhat scary on the track.  We also drove the ATS-V and I thought it was more "fun".

The magic of "Search Google for Image" tells me that it's a Jaguar ("Jag-you-ah") F-Type.  I thought it was, as it and the Ferrari and the Aston-Martin you and Utee posted upthread are the other two of the three semi-look-alikes.
Good-looking, just like the other two are.

My eye is attracted to the vertical slit just outboard of the grille, and then to the nostril outboard of that.  Are those functional air intakes, or are they just attention- and air-catchers?

For me, a part of the fun in driving is having a manual transmission.  Just about any of these sports cars can't be driven for real on regular roads, so what's the point?

Those are functional brake cooling ducts.

But not, IMO, good-looking.  The styling is awkward as hell.  What in Sam Hill is going on with the roofline?

The vertical slit and the nostril?
