RE: Tushek Renovatio T500

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Interesting, a big v8 & 1100kg what's not to like?

The price, going by the comments in here! But then as stated above its unlikely most if us are it's intended audience.

Still, I like it

[lgomgf]

What is no to like... the price.

The kit costs 10.000 pounds.

How much does the engine and the extra carbon fiber costs?

It seems those scissor doors open faster than that a jet aircraft travels across the sky too

i think it is an interesting car - but i would spend my money on the m600

cheaper and faster !

Don't ever remember seeing a car whose front brake calipers are at the 'front' of the wheel arch not the back. Looks odd!

Seems to make more sense having it this way (to me). If I had to stop a giant hamster wheel from crushing my gandma in her sleep I know I'd fancy my chances better standing in front and stopping it as it comes down, rather than running behind and stopping it as it goes up!

But its a circle. There isn't a front too it!

Ho pulllllease, Why leave off the last letter?

It's called 'Latin'. Never mind.

So, Nan's and hamsters aside, does the price tag include a dude to clean it once a week in Tesco Car Park?

Being from Solvenia and all...

Interesting beast, have had a poke around a K1 and I do prefer the T500 from the pics, very tasty.

Someone seems to have dressed a Harrier as a passenger aircraft if you flick between the pics though

Fantastic car!

On the face of it, this looks like another wannabe, but 1.7g cornering g says not and seems to have some customers willing to pay the price. I love to see this in a race series

For me, and if I had that type of money, I would stick with something like a mclaren if I what that type of race car. More certain racing heritage, backup and possible resale to other like minded individuals.

The cheap man's version in the uk is the Ultima GTR IMHO. Same design philosophy, much cheaper execution but no carbon fbre, ceramics etc. However given the wet weight of around 1000kg it does not really need these things.

I would imagine this will sell in small numbers to wealthy individuals from the local market who want to flaunt their wealth and show they are being patriotic - rather like the Marussia. I can't see it breaking into the Pagani and Koinesegge (spelling?) sector.

I assume it probably means "renewal" or something like that... unless perhaps its styling is intended to appeal to the "better homes and gardens" set?

[anonymous-user]

Prefer the original K1 design (and price) - http://www.yellowwheels.com/2010/01/k1-attack-spor...

1.7 lateral G is bullst imo. Would like to see this figure backed up by some evidence.

Good read. Sure it's a good car too, but that first sentence hit the nail on the head for me. When you can get an R8 V10, a TVR Sagaris and 911 GT3 RS (admittedly second hand) for the same money it needs to be very good indeed.
