Anyone spotted this recently, a bit of info on the web but announced at Sema 2012.

So, here's my take FWIW -

Love child of a SDR V Storm chassis with the Murtaya concept and a Pell Genesis (Now Blaze Motorspot) body.

Scooby Impreza single donor (2002-7 bug/hawk eye WRX model, STI gearbox no good for 2wd conversion) - Good
Space frame chassis - Good
Mid engine flat four with 265bhp standard - 400bhp easy with slight mods - Good
Bodywork in road and track guise (Track version better, road a bit bland) - OK
Body panels in thermofomed plastic (interesting, high tooling cost, low parts cost, expecting to sell alot then ?) - undecided
RHD version available - probably - Good
$10k for complete kit less donor - bit of a bargain but suspect it will be over £10k when it/if gets ? - Amazing
IVA compliant - no reason to thik it won't be given Blaze, Spire, AGM etc. all are and are of a similar theme.

So pretty good looking (in track form), quick car (300bhp at 818Kg = 366 bhp/ton = Gallardo/R8/458 territory) that sounds excelent and could possibly put on the road for less than £15k.

Thoughts anyone ?
