Interesting article in Miscellany about the new Plus 6. It is a big change for MMC, the next edition of Miscellany is expected to include a road test. So I guess the journalists will get their hands on one during late June.

I'm amazed that MMC could develop and build a new chassis and install a completely new power train all within 4 years and less than £6m.

Toyota had to share a platform with BMW to produce the new Supra. And at what cost?

We have a Z4, Supra and Plus Six all sharing a common powertrain. BMW and Toyota share a platform, MMC went their own way. There has to be a group test somewhere before long. Both seem to be priced in the £50 to £60k region.
A well specified Plus Six is going to cost over £90k.

Will people pay almost twice for a hand built car that is a bit quicker but mechanically the same?
How much is exclusivity worth?
