Well if Lotus doesn't release a new Esprit when I'm ready, I know where I will be heading...

re styling
IMHO it looks to similar to the DB7 and derivates. It lacks the bulldog spirit from its predecessors

Is it a 2 seater or a 2+2?
(not that I can afford one )

Quite simply astounding. A truly marvellous automobile. I simply must have one.

Now, where can I get £60K...

Are they going to make an SUV version I wonder? Bull bars, spray on mud ...

Great looking car. Will be interesting to hear how it handles and what the transmission is like. Fingers crossed.

2 seater. Click on the bottom picture and look into the interior...

Edited to say: Allow me to correct myself - it's a two seater ONLY. Ran across some additional info on the net...

When are they going on sale?

If I can't have a TVR, this may be the next best thing!

Gorgeous looking car! Here's hoping the actual production version will not differ too much from it!

Is that 4.3 litre V8 a derivative of the Jag V8?

Superb...I think I might become a convert if the price is genuine and I can fit in the thing...TVR Tuscan gives me adequate headroom but the previous Aston I tried my head was wedged against the roof! No chance of adjusting the seat either.

Stunning looking car.

Remember reading in EVO (I think) that they were surprised AM didn't make it a 2+2. Apparently the American market usually requires a 2+2.

What's an additional 60 grand on a mortgage these days?!?

That's the best news I've heard all year. A while ago I bought a number plate from the DLVA specifically to sell to some city type when this car was launched.

V8 VTG.


Can't wait to start advertising. Does anyone know how much I think I shall advertise it for??

My letter was off last week.
Only negative thing is that it is rumoured to be only 320bhp.
