They had one of these on an episode of Top Gear a little while back. Unfortunatley they didn't drive it, it was just sitting in their showroom. IIRC they said it was going to be fairly cheap.

At only $260,000, I guess that would be considered cheap by todays supercars prices. The Enzo is what, $600,000, but really about $1 million if you want one. I imagine the Caparo T1 will fetch far more than the asking price too.

Also, the car will not be street legal in the US, only Uk and Europe will you be able to drive it on the street.

But you could make multiple trips in the time it'd normally take for you to do one. Did you think about that?

great car... but if its not street legal... who cares, that puts it in "Race car"/"track car" category...so that puts it in the jgtc, lemaans, formula 1 categories... and in that case, the car isnt all that impressive.... if it was US street legal, then i could definently see what the hype is all about.. . id rather buy a street legal $270k supercar... at least youd get more use out of it....

If they want to sell it to the US market, I imagine they'll do what Noble did with the M12 and sell it as a kit car, where you buy the body/chassis and buy the drivetrain seperate.
