Selling off what's left of my business, a kidney and scrounging the rest to buy one. :lol:
Absolutely stunning.
Love the fact they kept the E85/6 interior too.
E89 chassis and definitely the lardy G29 would never have worked for this project.

Your logic is nothing if not stunningly inefficacious John.

Thoughts on this? I love it, except for the cost!

It's defo a thing of beauty, they could have done more with the interior...aluminium dash :thumbsdown: and the ///M seats is a bit weird. Saw this on Facebook, more like what I would expect a Z8 coupe to look like:

For 450k, they could have done anything at all with the interior!

It’s good that it’s so expensive, as it means I am not tempted to buy one :roll:

If it were not for the rear buttresses, this one is much closer to the E89 in shape.
