    I got to sit in one of these a few times, and I absolutely fell in love with them.

    They are currently negotiating with BMW for their engine.
    Prices start at a little over 100k €
    The last picture should give you an idea of how small the car really is. The rims on the car in the last picture are 20", but strangely enough, they fit this small car perfectly!
    edit: that's not me in the picture.

    Looks like a more aggressive, Morgan Coupe. Not that that is a good or a bad thing...just an observation.

    Morgan mated with a Panoz Esperante.

    I hope that dude is like 6'6" and not 5'10" - otherwise it looks like that thing is a midget car. That reminds me of Robert_C's epic struggle to free himself from a Lotus Elise! :D :D

    Those wheels are perfect for the car. It looks really aggressive! I saw it on Top Gear and I couldn't believe how well the wheels fit.

    I wish they sold these here! :(

    Top Gear tested the Roadster, and while it looks similar to the GT, the Gt's a completely new car. It's got different suspension, a new engine, a longer wheelbase, etc.

    btw, you can order any bodycolour you can imagine, and over 400 colours of leather.

    Do they make a roadster ? That would rock

    Why the straight six and not the V8?

    The roadster's been in existance for almost 13 years (evolving a little bit on the way). The V8 didn't fit, so they had to develop a ompletely new car, instead of just putting a roof on the roadster and calling it "GT".
    Edit: the straight six still has 330 bhp or something like that.
