From the shape of the snout I'd guess at a Simpson of some sort.

Craft make copies with free simpson stickers! Most simpsons have vents built into the design of the shell. this looks smooth, probably as mentioned a
one off, no doubt italian.

To be fair, if you are designing a supercar that costs that much money, I wouldnt be surpised if they didnt design their own lid to go with it! Would
look a bit daft with a standard skid lid on show :p

image looks rendered to me, so it may not actually exist, you might be chasing some pixels rather than a real skid-lid

You mean 'Cycle' legal, as there is no legal requirment to wear a helmet in a car you can technical wear what you like.(allthough its
grey area if you can acctually wear one at all)

my local bike shop has something a bit like that, its totally carbon fibre, damned beautiful and ACU gold approved
will check the look of it next time Im in there
trying to save the money up to buy it, no real use, but its just so tidy and light
also a bargain in real money terms
just lokoed at the picture better on my desktop instead of my phone, it does look more like one of the craft helmets.

heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it breaks, hit them with it
