Although saying that, I've a policy for a modified classic with just about every mod you care to name and it's about £170 a year (garaged, limited mileage, full comp). It's not a road legal GT3 car though unfortunately...

I guess you could run this on touristenfahrten. Otherwise I have no idea why anyone would want to make a GT3 car road legal
Are there track days that ban racing cars? Someone could buy a road legal GT3 car then brag about being the fastest when all the "competition" had were old BMWs and Caterhams.Talksteer said:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that new Evo kit is the 'SF-90'-style front end and looks VERY good for it!Pretty sure that with all the monty you save, you could pop that along to Lanzante and have them make it road legal if you really insisted on being able to drive it on the road to your trackday.

I wonder what kind of formula car you could buy for that money?
A dozen or so F3 cars. Or half a dozen and lots of tyres and spares! I know that the ludicrously expensive track toy is more about the networking opportunities for those who buy them, but with a budget in the high six figures I’d definitely buy a few formula cars, rent a track and some support staff, and invite some friends round for fun.

If they are serious it is a very limited market, maybe to go with the other 50 exotic cars a Saudi Prince has in his collection, or maybe its just a marketing stunt to flog other bits and pieces
Very much this. I love the GTR but probably would not buy this if I had the money. A trip to Litchfields with a standard car and a pocket full of cash for mods would do me.lestiq said:

Strange argument. You can't use almost any performance cars full potential in Brktain with our outdated roads and speed limit. I'm in for this, but then a lottery win would see me with a selection of GTRs with this one sitting at the top....
Yeah, I was just thinking the same. Nearly all performance cars nowadays are too fast to be fully enjoyed on the road, some are even too loud to be allowed on track which must be incredibly frustrating. But that's not the point is it, we are mostly a bunch of lunatic petrolheads who don't really conform to sensible and that's who this car is aimed at. How many people are more interested in what's under the skin than what's on the badge in a car these days? For me any road car built by championship winning race team will always be a very special thing, sign me up.EDLT said:

I would probably just buy a Senna or buy a 458 GT3 or a Broadley T76 and live with it being not road legal plus a few road cars for the same money

You can buy that big wing and attached it to your old GT-R. Great savings!
Yean because that would be exactly the same thing then, wouldn't it...biggbn said:

A slightly less aerod version would appeal to me more.
When BMW did the 320si, that engine sat lower and further back but was wholly more discreet.
Then again, anybody spending that kinda of money on this, doesnt want discreet?
Is that strictly true though? It had a carbon cam cover which lowered the engines centre of gravity but I've not personally seen anything that has suggested the engine itself was repositioned.When BMW did the 320si, that engine sat lower and further back but was wholly more discreet.
