Interesting read; thank you for taking the time to write it up Boshly.
I like the concept of the new Plus 8, more so after reading your experience, but the asking price is too expensive for me. I had hoped they would pitch it in the £60,000s, which would have meant a nearly £20,000 uplift over the V6 Roadster. Enough to keep them apart in the eyes of us punters but not putting it out of reach for many Trad owners.
You're welcome
I was genuinely surprised to be honest.
As for price, I agree with you, it would have been great. However I think when it boils down to nuts and bolts, and you take away VAT, dealer margins, a margin for some development (minimal) and the cost of the engine/gearbox combo I don't think they had any choice. At £65k there definitely would be one next to my Aero Supersports as they would be the perfect combo.
And someone did say on the day (I can't recall who) what price for a car quicker than a Lamborghini? I wait with earnest to see the figures and comparisons in due course.
