An acquired taste.

Not at all what I expected.

I'd chop the Plus 8 in for one tomorrow. But I can't afford it ooo So I shall just drool at the pics... Yes it should be tuned and at least Aeromax wheels on it. But apart from that I still thinks it looks great in fact I think it's flipping lovely love

A shame that it's mechanically standard: a missed opportunity.

(& The roof vent may look like it belongs in a GT car, but it's pretty ugly)

A tad underwhelming considering the hype and our expectation

A yellow stripe and some wing louvres

Have I missed anything ?

I quite like it, but do appreciate it is a bit of a Marmite styling exercise smile

It will be interesting to see the car after a drive on a typical British road.....lots of filth being flung off the tyres and through those louvres etc 😳

I do think that it has rather missed the plot. I know that it is expensive to do very short runs but the car promises a lot visually but there’s only 367 bhp under the bonnet when it should be 500!

From the looks of it the louvres dont vent the wheel wells, rather the area just behind them, which will help with under-bonnet temperatures tremendously.
If the side ducts are more than just cosmetic, they will evacuate excess pressure in the wheel wells


Its nothing we didn't do in 2003 for British GT with the Aero, and much more extensively in 2006, when I comprehensively rebuilt/redesigned the Aero for the Britcar 24hr race

I shall be very surprised if any of these see anything other than the inside of a dehumidified heated garage John, rather sadly he said.

Good to see you back, take care with that skiing and have fun.

Underwhelming in my opinion. Those extension protrusions/small wings half way up the front of the car will be off I suspect when trying to park it! Agree with comments on the wheels and performance.

I just think the roof looks blobby and not raked and streamlined a little like the soft top shape. I accept this is a small run but at £150k I'd much rather have a Max - The GT is a sheep in wolfs clothing in my view - I'll stick with my Aero 8 :-)
