To whoever it was a few weeks back who said it looks like the i8 was "giving birth to a Porsche", you were right: Once you've seen it, you can't unsee it. As this visualization demonstrates in nice 3d form.

A Linux machine with an "Intel Integrated Graphics Controller". I doubt an equivalent Windows machine would fare better.
Rendered just fine for me. Linux machine with i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz and i915 integrated graphics, running Chrome. If it's as slow as you say, it sounds like you're getting software rendering.

I'm sorry I'm not keen on making games for only one platform at a time.
Unless you're talking about casual games that reality is never going to be realized. AAA games are written as close to the hardware as possible/feasible, as you probably already know. For every developer willing to develop against an abstraction like the Web, there will be others unwilling to give up that performance.
I am perplexed. Modern games are fantastically more visually appealing and contentwise impressive than this. Modern films utilize computer graphics that are far more impressive still. What is it about single model viewer that makes it headline material? It looks nice, though.

I think the design has a few too many un-necessary flourishes, and it probably won't age very well. It definitely grabs your attention, but in a few years when electric cars are less rare I bet it will look kind of gimmicky.
But the people who buy them don't care. They'll just buy whatever the new thing is.

Runs about .1 - .2 fps on my iPhone 4s equivalent potato. They've certainly lost MY expensive-new-car business!
