They look absolutely gopping... I'm assuming mid-engined from the pictures? I think someone's had one too many garlic sandwiches before coming up with it...

Two very different vehicles.

The Copen is a front-wheel-drive and has a maximum power of 86hp.

The PGO is rear-wheel-drive and has the 1.6 THP PSA/BMW with 184hp.

I never heard of it before, so thank your for posting. Has a sort of melted Porsche 356 look.......

So it's a "visually updated" 356 rep. Woo.

Heels like that, on cobbles? Blimey, she'll be lucky not to break an ankle. I hope she's got some more sensible driving shoes in the footwell.

You're welcome.

Yes, you're totally right.

In 2004, they have even been taken to court by Porsche because of that.
