Evening all, just popped over from the Elise forum.
Saw this thing today, you followed me and my silver Elise into Newquay.
Your car sounded fantastic but I'm afraid I have to agree with negative comments made about her appearance (Sorry!!).
When I saw it in my rear view mirror I initially thought it was a chavved-up MX5. Eventually dismissed that idea and became confused. When I saw the back end I immediately thought Z4. Sorry, the car does indeed look like a Z4 crossed with an MX5 and then 'improved' by a fan of max power mag.
Apologies for being so negative and it seems a great way of using up scooby drivetrains. Best of Luck

Well you can always restyle it in a few years time...., or you can use the same concept and create a new car...

Just like Lotus have been doing with the Elise

This looks like the closest we'll get to that Prodrive concept that surfaced and disappeared last year.
God I was upset when I heard they weren't going to put it into production. It was like a 4WD GTM Libra on steroids and was exactly the kind of car I wanted.
Edit: There's something Adrenaline Motorsport could do next - take the lessons learned on the Murtaya and bring out a small mid-engined coupe with styling similar to the Prodrive, original Honda CRX and/or GTM Libra. Price it around £30k and I'll order the first one off the production line.

Latest news from the 2 guys who designed the Minari and Delfino is that they are back with a new car, this time a coupe based on a Mitsu Evo.

As the planned TKC Live event in March has been cancelled Adrenaline Motorsport have privately hired Llandow circuit in south Wales for Saturday 24th February 2007 to demonstrate the Murtaya to interested parties.
The circuit is very easy to access being just a short hop across the bridge meaning that it should not be too long a trip for most people.
The track will be open from 10am to 4pm and we will be giving free demonstration runs all day.
The demonstrator car will be our standard road offering as reviewed for Pistonheads by Graham Bell. Our track day specific lightweight demonstrator will be competed later this year.
If you are interested in attending please phone 01637 852500 to register. All registered parties will be informed via e-newsletter of the specific itinerary for the day in the coming month as the date approaches.
I hope that you do not mind me posting on this thread (I am MD of the business so you could consider this SPAM I guess!) but I felt all of you who have contributed to this forum thread would like to know that there is an opportunity to experience the car in the near future.
I would like to thank everyone for their positive reactions to our car. The first customer car has been completed (to rolling chassis stage) and will be delivered next week. We have a rapidly filling order book which is very exciting for the future.
I hope that I may meet some of you on the 24th February, or at one of the other shows during the year, or even at our base in sunny Cornwall!
Many thanks,
Neil.

I was at Millbrook yesterday (in the snow/sleet) and saw a blue Murtaya being driven by some hardy souls.
Sounded good with the 'burble' from the Scooby engine. Looked a good overall package.
Was there a comparison test going on due to the fact the Toniq R was there aswell. That was being driven very enthusiastically around the handling circuit.

Wow, it is impossible to do anything without being spotted nowadays isn't it!!
We had the use of the facilities for a private demonstration of the Murtaya to a group of interested individuals and the car is question is our factory demo car for this coming year. It was driven by one of our Directors, Tom, all day.
Glad that you liked the looks and the noise, thanks for the positive comments.
The ToniqR was with the AMS team and was being driven by me (on another promotional activity). I confess to being out to impress the audience! It is a cracking package (I was driving their Duratec powered car) which is quick and fun to drive, although a heated steering wheel (a'la Range Rover) would have been good on the day!
The weather was definately pretty chilly with full on blizzards, hail and plain old hard rain at various times in the day, mixed in with bright sunshine, certainly making for some great fun sideways motoring.
