Andy Palmer is tweeting pictures of a cover (a potential FOS reveal) with GT12 Roadster on it

First I've heard of it, not sure if it's a wind-up, have no idea how a gt12 roadster would work. But I'm intrigued.

I don't really see how it would work, to get the stiffness surely it would have to be much heavier? Blunting the handling?

Will be very interesting to see what they've come up with and whether it's producable

It looks good, no massive rear wing though.

Ahhhh, its a one off Q special for one of the GT12 customers!

It is stunning but I would just love to know how much some of those Q items cost, obviously the big ticket item of "Roadster" being the most obvious.

I have to find out how much the Q Arab Strap on the centre console is... eek

oh dear, just realised that it is LHD so destined for foreign soil. Still at least the lucky buyer will have to pay 10% less for it today! wink

Seems fair, otherwise it would not be work, particularly if you happen to be at one of my companies.

AML should have made a good profit from this order.
Can anyone guess what the total might have been?

Is it dual purpose?

I was told about this a while back - IIRC £1M+

Wow! For £1M I would certainly expect it to be dual purpose and self lubricating! biggrin

It is a lot when looked at compared to production cars, but the fact is this is a one off. If you approached ferrari and asked for a soft top F12 TDF, I bet it would be £3-4M.....................

Just a personal opinion but I think it's a really boring colour for that car. It's a roadster, its going to be used in the sunshine; it should be blue, green, red, orange, yellow. Not grey
