That was just the concept (and, as with other concepts from Lamborghini, Audi, BMW, and others, the cameras are mounted on stalks, unlike what Ecky is planning); the production 918 has traditional mirrors. The only car I know of that has actually made it to (limited) production with side view cameras, and mounted close to the body, is the XL1--anyone know any others? I'm curious what the view from those cameras looks like, mounted lower on the door.
