It would look better without the wing it has sufficient presence already and lets face it unless you race it it's purely cosmetic.

You may be being a tad harsh. Is it set at the right height to work with a couple of picnic chairs?

Silly me doh..

I think the rest of it really looks the business and the future owners are going to have some fun thumbs.

I get the impression that rather than being built as a 'bespoke' GT car like the GTN assembled by a dedicated team, the new GT is a stock S5, stock engine and suspension but with body revisions.

Of course we have yet to see the spec and the finer detail so who knows?

At the guestimated price it is too rich for me as I need to fund my new Tesla Roadster which will come in at just a little more. Mind you, if the specification does turn out to be different, then I would be interested if one became available!

I hope to goodness it doesn't leak at that stratospheric price innocent.

At this pricing level things are expected to work without any hand built excuses, that's what quality control is for lets hope this one's right from the start.

Are all the cars going to dealers or have the "chosen few" been given the 1st option to buy - does anyone know or is it all speculation ?

I asked the question last week and all of the build slots have been taken by the dealers. So I’m guessing they are confident they’ll sell.

Thanks that is confidence - mind you it is a striking looking car if the impression supplied back along the thread is to go by.

Richard, The £120k Aero is no where near the quality of my £28k Audi and never will be at any price - but I accept it and love it anyway.

That's just how it is.

Better comparing a mass produced quality car and a Morgan with the wife and a beautiful but highly strung and expensive mistress (I imagine).

Both give pleasure and problems in different ways.
