AC Schnitzer GP3.10 Concept

http://www.ac-schnitzer.de/en/bmw-cars/garage/concept-cars/2007-gp310-gas-powered/general-info/
One of AC Schnitzer's Frankfurt debuts mixes very high performance with a little bit of a greenish tint. Behold the GP3.10, a 3-Series coupe that has been completely transformed with a full interior and exterior overhaul (which you will either love or hate). The car's name tells you the rest of what you need to know:
GP: Gas-powered, as in Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)
3: For 3-Series
10: For 10 cylinders
Roof WingYes, that's correct. The GP3.10 sheds its stock I6 for a worked-over V10 sourced from an M5/M6, and AC Schnitzer has fitted the motor with an LPG system that turns the car into a dual-fuel monster dishing out 552 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. The driver can switch between fuel sources (gasoline or LPG) at any time, and LPG is readily available in Germany (2,700 filling stations, according to AC Schnitzer). There is the added benefit that CO2 emissions when running on the LPG are 15% lower than when on gasoline. But let's be honest, potential buyers of something like this aren't looking for green-ness. They're probably more interested in the gaudy 4.5 second 0-62 time and 198 mph top speed. As for the equally gaudy multicolor, multi-textured interior and the fully-Schnitzered exterior, we'll leave the judgments to you. We will say that the center-outlet exhaust is pretty nifty, but we are so not crazy about that little F1-style mini roof wing.

The whole car is way too overdone. 
uke: The center exhaust reminds me of goatse.

I have to agree. If they tone it down some it would look awhole lot better.The whole car is way too overdone.
Huh? The car is white...
:doh: Time for some new specs, Jack. Hell, they even partially described it for you in the first post...Huh? The car is white...
That is what the author is relating---the color of the car to the "enviro-green" aspects of the fuel.
Perception is a crazy thing. I subconsciously attributed the color to lighting, not catching that it actually had a very subtle green tinge.:doh: Time for some new specs, Jack. Hell, they even partially described it for you in the first post...

I didn't think it was possible for a car to have the "Myspace Angles"... I was wrong
