are you sure it is a 3 year old design? i think you’re refering to the aero-x concept instead. the 9-x was probably revealed last year only.

topgunthang,

Incredible. If only they would put those fighter jet HUD gauges in the production model, if they ever build it. Amazing how a 3 year old design still stands out even now. Incredible.
