Looks like some car but from the early reports will have some price tag too.

Why the zebra camouflage :?:

It's an attempt by the manufacturer to disguise the look of the car... first time I have seen this as other manufacturers just put black padded bras around the car.

On one hand they want to keep the release a surprise but on the other they want as much rumor and free publicity as possible, hence the lack of heavy disguise and the "Look at Me I'm Secret!" zebra stripes :D

N3 TUT will have a black padded Bra around it for road runs...............

Maybe that will start rumours about the new S3.
