If you've not seen it, here's Top Gear launching a Reliant Robin space shuttle!

Jump to the 8 minute mark for the launch.

That was an epic episode. It's definitely one of the more ridiculous things they've ever done.

I've seen a few pictures of this coupe now, and I have to say while it looks OK(ish) from some angles, it's a very weird looking thing from other angles. The 3/4 view from the rear, and the 3/4 view from the front are the worst.

I'm not convinced by it.
