When this lean green machine plopped into our in-tray (or did it ping?) we thought it looked familiar. Turns out it's a German TUV-certified version of the Factory Five GTM kit car from the good 'ol USA.
The basis for the project is a powder-coated tubular space frame that is made in the USA then re-engineered (homologated) and fine-tuned in Germany, says the company behind it, CCG Automotive.
The outer skin is made from either fibreglass- or carbon fibre-reinforced composites, and CCG has added various tweaks for the benefit of German bureaucrats.
The result is a pleasingly low vehicle weight, which, depending on the equipment, weighs in at as little as 960kgs. There's a 7-litre Corvette V8 producing up to 550hp with a manually-operated 6-gear transmission, and the car also comes with an LPG conversion fitted - which makes it a bit more of a novelty.
'Countless' kilometres of testing on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and Hockenheim have been claimed as part of the programme to Europeanise the experience. So at around £150k is it worth it? You tell us!
