Well this is lovely. Popup headlights are always nice. De Tomaso Pantera, base car is a Huracan. I dig that front end alot.

I love this idea from Ares Design. Can't believe this car came from the mind of Danny Behar, of the old 5 different Lotus concepts back in the early 2010 timeframe. Stories about him at Lotus are wild, just look up his history.
That said, this is great, just isn't cheap! Like $600K PLUS the cost of a Huarcan as a donor, I believe.
They do have one cool thing though. With the Huracan having a dual clutch, Ares Design made a cool stick for selecting the gear, and also added a bump-shift for manual mode, in the shape of an H-pattern. Here's the picture of it. It's a pretty cool idea and design.
And here is the story of it.

Would a transmission that can be both an auto and an old-style manual be the best of both worlds - or the worst?
