    Who'd have thought Auchterarder had any more that a good fish and chip shop and pub on the way back from Glenshee :-)

    Interesting. A production run of just 4 as well? Why?

    Hey Josh-

    As a modeling excercise, using SolidWorks, it's brilliant.

    As a practical vehicle? Not. No A pillars, huge, blinding C pillars, way too low to the ground, short overhangs with no crush zones. And really, a gas sucking V8? Looks like no room for even a briefcase.

    Designs with no practical use are just plain silly.

    And designs that look just a bit too similar to the new Ferraris.

    With all the MPG, view perspectives, and cargo capacity concerns aside....That is one SWEET looking ride!!

    The car looks very slick! It almost looks like a combination of a tank, with a fast sporty car. The car looks very solid all around!

    By far the most impressive thing about this car is that it's got a real race engine designed by a company that builds nothing but race engines.

    I'd love to see John Judd back in F1.
