Yes that is kind of special.
Two unicorns in one photo. Double top by a blind person.
I bet the noise on the way there and back was visceral.
You are a bit of a legend shooter. The matt and yellow S4 as well. I remember seeing it at RTCC one day and going, "nutter!"
Whilst the Clarence look of the early Aeros is an acquired taste I still think that the GTN was a complete party piece.
When the recent end-of-line Aero models were released I sadly thought they were a bit chintz and baubles I was reminded of how cool/focused/wild the S1+ GTN was.
If you are going to take a car from £90k to £250k and call it handmade, low volume and special then drop in an Alpina lump, sort the steering and suspension using stuff that has already been done on the aftermarket and leave the body standard so it is a real monster. Whilst I am not a great lover of the hamster his original TopGear video of the GTN shows real respect for what was done. Probably by a couple of blokes and a mallet in great Morgan manner. That is not meant as disrespect of the work the factory has done on recent models but more to appeal to a slightly different "singer" audience. The looks are already SO different that guilding the lilly with a carbon fibre gurney flap seems like the wrong "unique" aspect. Make something that already looks a bit different to a Kia sound and go like a stabbed rat. The CX platform and N58 engine offer a platform to do it in spades.
