Nice. Looks like an Alfa 8C from the side. Spyker hints also.

also, the car is stated something like 1280kg but that is with passenger and some petrol/luggage.
the people at the Artega factory said that the car's normal/dry? weight is 1185kg.

this is a video uploaded begin 2011 but the later models have had some updates.

Love it. Any chance of sales in the U.S.? If it is all that this quick review states it to be, it moved to the top of my Exige, Rossion, Cayman, Ginetta 60 list of cars I'm considering when I side-grade my 997S.

don't know, on the moment they (Artega) are in some "crisis" problems too...
I guess they looking at some new investor, at least something like that was in the news a few months ago.
maybe VW can take over, would be nice with some big capital behind them and Artega already uses some of their products like that R36 engine.

These aren't very easy to find now! I was just wondering what one of these sold for nowadays, little known but superb engine, hard to rival kerb weight.

Very topical car. I suppose anything this rare is a million million but if it was Evora money I think I'd be very tempted.

Well found! Thank you. Still safely out of my budget sadly. I assume they did sell some in the UK over the three years of production but struggled to find even one for sale anywhere.

Pity this car didn't make it to bigger production numbers. It had all the right stuff.

I also look at those, sadly price was creeping up a bit, its now from around 52k euro upwards, and I guess will go up later on, there are only a few made and they look lovely and the drive is great as well.
