The design clearly needed improvements as it was a bit tacky and unrefined around the edges. The underbelly, nose, spoiler, the rake angle of windscreen, headlights and the detachable roof aerodynamics were noted. Especially the targa roof which clearly needed refinement as the roof was detachable and storable in the front, it had to be refined so as to reduce the wind noise inside the cabin.
