Things like this are what separate the "stock original purists" fans from the "customized modified" creative minded types. :)
 
Nothing wrong with discussing alternative designs for the X. Would like to see other views of it, just for curiosity.
 
I want to like it. Very much a Barchetta and seems to have some of the original show car design cues.

Strictly for astetics it needs the nose lower to level out the profile, a slightly larger chin spoiler and a small rear lip spoiler to balance the wedge shape.
 
I dig it, speedsters in general I give a nod to. This one deserves more pics from different angles. Its shape alludes to the Isdera Spyder from the 80’s. I love the Isdera Imperator also. Such clean lines
 
Nose is too stubby. Loses it's wedge design and becomes a palindrome of a car; the rear is too similar to the front. If there were an actual door seam that might break up the slab side a bit, because it's so flat and lifeless right now in profile, but the belt line looks too tall as well. The side intakes being gone also makes the side view too bland. I get what they were going for and there are little pieces I like but overall it looks like it has lost its small and sprightly original lines in trade for something more bloated and less interesting.

A simple black band like the Montecarlo/Scorpion would go a long way to minimizing the slab look also perhaps making the lower rockers black as well
