    No intake on door. Slanted versus straight lines across side. Tail higher. Straight creases versus curves. Greenhouse ends earlier.


    So I say no. Does. It look the same.

    Especially as the same designer worked on both, I say no, not even close. I think he did a good job of doing different things on the SSC. Sideview is not the best way to compare cars, but these cars have substantially different proportions and visual weight etc.

    Nope. Common inputs will result in common outputs. Aero uber alles these days, so every "super car" looks similar but these do not look the same at all.

    Jason Castriota worked on both cars, so they are sort of kind of family, but I find them different enough from each other.

    IMHO i think Jim's car is way more beautiful and well designed.

    Will the Tuatara ever really be built at the rate they are going though? That design is probably pushing 10 years old now. Last I heard the planned factory was still a concrete foundation overgrown with weeds. But hope springs eternal for a little homegrown WA state company!!
