To replace the niche of the Roadster I would expect to see a 4 cylinder version, and then later perhaps a 3 cylinder. Being turbo charged each engine, 3,4,or 6 cylinder, would have more than enough torque to fill each respective roll.

If I can be critical: the design of the body is still very traditional and they haven't taken the oportunity to do something about the pram hood.

It looks as though the wipers are offset to the driver's side which will make them more effective than those on the trad. I see it is only available as an automatic with paddle shift. Air conditioning is standard, as is an audio system though I can't see where it is placed. I hope they have made provision for a hands free telephone connection almost essential these days hide).

They don't say anything about: ABS, traction control, or airbags.

In any case it is all fairly academic for me. By the time it gets here it would be around at least €100K and we'll outside any possibility for me.


I'm sure he said in the video it has ABS, but no traction control Peter

That's a manual geartsick in the sliver/black car. It may of course not be attached to a manual gearbox!

That photo is not the 6. The dash doesn't have the digital screen...

The dash is entirely different. I think that is a photo of a Plus 4 that has snuck in.

An old-fashioned cock-up, I expect!

That engine looks a very tight fit!

It's good to see that there is still an ash frame.

Yes, Auto only, as quoted at unveiling for MMC Staff last Thursday.
As for the "extra" pic, probably of the cooking version of the +4 110 Anniversary.

Well it's got the engine I predicted so it's a thumbs up from me, I'm also happy they've kept the Trad style, I think it will be a good seller

Looking at what I spent to spec up a 3.7 last year it's good value too, BTW anyone like to buy a very well spec'd and sorted 3.7 ??

Thankfully, it won’t fit my garage.
