Power to weight ratio is scary.,, I hope it has anchors!

Good colour and an excellent race number :lol:

Great wheels.

Interior is disappointing.

Is there enough cooling without a GT engine grill?

And the stance is all wrong... Maybe those minilites are rubbing?

I don't mind the interior, and I expect the gear change is a massive improvement over mine. Perhaps the motor is too powerful for the chassis, and I would definitely want something done about the stance. Interesting to see what it eventually sells for ?

Although it looks good and I bet it goes, the execution is a bit iffy - battery as an arm rest as James says - they havent even attempted to hide it! The exposed gear linkage is just ugly, and the stance as mentioned is all wrong (and yes those minilites are too big - they could have bought the right size for a £65k car!!)

Ive been thinking of selling mine recently. I think it's more "honest", with 20 years of racing history behind it, and probably two thirds the price !
