Yuk- looks like a kit Lamborghini ! If Lee has had anything to do with the chassis though, it will handle well.

[andygtt]

the pictures clearly give the impression the car is finished and been driven... even pictures of people in the car as it corners.

Is there a finished driving car? or is it all artist impressions and doctored photo's?

A quick search on YouTube found a few vids of it driving around, not to my taste but if you like lambos with a body kit......

Also noticed this on the website.

Lee Noble, a famous British car designer will lend his name to the project. He is currently a member of the supervisory board and a shareholder of Arrinera Automotive S.A. He will be responsible for technical aspects related to the supercar as well as for the design and production of the “rolling chassis”.

Lee Noble is a British entrepreneur, car designer and engineer. He has been acclaimed as the most prolific British car manufacturer ever. Over three decades, he has manufactured more than 2000 cars based on his own designs. Almost all of them produced innovative performance, not only focusing on comfort and flashy styling. The first of them – Ultima – was used as a test mule for a model which was to become the fastest production car in the world – the McLaren F1. Cars designed by Lee Noble achieve excellent time on the track, in most cases matching the top supercars.

Number of £100k 'super' cars based on crate V8's announced ~ = Slightly less than number of atoms in the universe.

Number of £100k 'super' cars based on crate V8's available to actually buy ~ = zero.

Marketing noise....

[andygtt]

Ironic that he now thinks a big american V8 is the engine of choice in his cars... massive U turn on his views!

Although im not sure this is actually his car... hasnt he just done a bit of consulting on it rather than designed it?

Bodywork is nothing to do with him.

easy to tune

you think the LS is very lightweight?

an old alloy blocked SBC was same weight as a modern LS

The american V8 was the same weight and tunable back when Lee had strong views about how unsuitable they are for a mid engined car... i never shared this view but seeing how passionate about it he was I guess he now realises it was wrong lol

anyhow things move on and I look forward to seeing these on the road... its not a bad looking car, have to see more of the car to see if its worth the money, after all an LS engine is similar money as a twin turbo V6 mondeo engine (ie they are cheap lol).

what happened to the fenix in the end?
