perhaps folks who will put this much money in a closed car, are not likely to want to risk injury and dirt from functional sidepipes. Being a coupe, with a top speed in the vicinity of 200 mph, it needed some minimal creature comforts for long trips. It has AC, and electric windows, so it can be used in warm and wet weather. The exhausts exit under the rear valences on each side. It has a 6 speed, too. 18 inch speed rated tires, on Halibrand look-alike wheels. Can't realistically put 112 mile rated tires on a car like this.

I suppose if one wanted to make it hot and noisy, it could perhaps be made that way. Having ridden in the prototype several years ago, it is some car.
