Features that thankfully won't make it to the production version:

drilled and slotted 12" rotors
silly wheels
no clearance between tires and fenders
headlamps that extend to the A-pillar
turn signals in the wing mirrors
a hood through which you couldn't pass an alternator even if the car had one
demonic Pokemon appearance?

Actually, I hope for the sake of your repair bills and aerodynamics, that the hood is moved forward to be level with the front bumper.

The rear "widebody" style fenders are interesting. This is a neat alternative to having the rear track narrower than the front, while allowing the canopy to taper toward the rear.
