Got a response from Superformance:

"Lee,

Thank you.

The mail came with three attachments outlining the presspack, basic car cost ($80K) and cost to have engine/ gearbox installed ($20K for LS3). So, about $100K + taxes. Not so much of a bargain which is a shame. I was guessing at about $75K.

But that article says about £70k (pounds) so that's bang on. Are you going to order one?

Remember American's have always assumed £1 = $1 when it comes to cars.... even when there was $3/£ IIRC

I'm not an American. And the original article said 50K Euro which is $70K. The US dealers price will be $115K once you add taxes, and thats without options. So, I'll wait till 2012 and see how it pans out.

Oh ok, I just read the article on Pistonheads.

It was a joke.

Releases in late 2008 said "A price of 50,000 euros minus taxes" for the base car. At that time the € was at 1.30 to the £, it is now 1.15. €/$ as you may know has moved even more.

£70k is with a significant number of options, and includes VAT at 20%.

Ergo, it is still exactly what it said. In "today's price", €50k without taxes is (€50000 * 1.3 / 1.15 * 1.2 ) = £67,826

Aha. It was early in the morning and I'd just been subjected to Houston traffic for 45 mins so my brain was mush.

Am I right in thinking you have one on order? I'm not much of an early adopter so I'll read your feedback with great interest

I'm certainly interested, but waiting for the first UK one to have a drive in before committing.
