Shame they dont build a slower version
You mean slower than the 225bhp normally-aspirated version? To be fair though I agree about the warranty thing though.Hmm... having said that, I'd definitely consider one of these, in spite of the "built together from other manufacturers" vibe, I really like the design overall!

How would re-engineering a rwd low volume car to be fwd make it cheaper?
Aside from that I think its great, like a squished Mitsubishi Eclipse but better.

Personally I can see 400+bhp in a sub-1000kg car being quite spectacular, but I didn't pay much attention to it at Goodwood, I must admit. Possibly because of the off they had last year (when it was called the Yes! Roadster), but at least I now know why! Lots of power, not much weight, pre-production prototype, no driver aids except ABS, and lots and lots of rain...

I'm the proud owner of one of the first Yes 3.2 Roadsters in Switzerland. Even the non turbo version is big fun.
Build quality of my car is very good for a car which is build in these low numbers (better than my previous TVR's )
Ther roof takes its time to errect - it reminds me sometimes on errecting a tent ;-)
It is great to see that the car gets positive reactions in the UK

I know its a bit sad but this sort of thing annoys me slightly on a car forum, why would the wastegate make a noise....why do so many people get this wrong.
I seriously doubt that he is talking about an external wastegate, so the noise will just be the dump valve/diverter valve, whatever you want to call it, you would think as a car journalist you would know this...

The car runs an external wastegate so yes Oli is rightI seriously doubt that he is talking about an external wastegate, so the noise will just be the dump valve/diverter valve, whatever you want to call it, you would think as a car journalist you would know this...
