Awesome.

Hybrid electric 4-wheel drive paired to a combustion engine working on the rear wheels.

it makes no engineering sense, but it looks awsome :D had to share

I can tell this was done by an artist and not an engineer. not saying it doesn't look good, it does.. But it could have been more forward looking if you ask me. More interesting features could have been modeled in.

Good to know that in the future they're gonna reintroduce grooved tyres, but this time with a cool looking pattern. Also F1 for some reason will not only return to coil springs, but will also make sure they're visible.

It's not interesting to me if it's clear it's only made to look good, rather than look like it performs well.

I don´t like it, too square all around, specially the engine cover and air inlets

I even like the transformer like MP4-X more

But to me this is the most beautiful concept car/F1/whatever I´ve seen in ages

It's getting a bit boring seeing that "echoes of a nearby future" image with different liveries swapped on. It's talented 3D work, but it just looks daft.
