[R] Tempesta GT-1

My newest 14-wide car - a fictional Italian sports car turned into a GT-1 racing machine. 

960 parts, steering, aerodynamics and blah blah just look at it!

Great model! The front view screen is cleverly done! May I ask what the harpoon gun is to resemble?

Thanks! The harpoon is the windscreen wiper, racing cars often have a single large wiper instead two small wipers, that resets in the center.

Thank you! The front hood grid was actually an Idea which I got pretty late in the design process when I saw a Pagani C12 racing version sporting that grid to improve venting the front radiator.

At least for me 14 wide is a rather small scale ...

I like it, reminds me of the Turbo Track Racer from this year, except more better, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Did I see this on ideas as well or is that a slightly different car by someone else altogether.

Yes, I put it also in th LEGO idea page, but people don't seem to like it for some reason.
