A lot to like here.

Would love to see that motor better. Especially if in my garage!

I think that wing is spec but it mounts in a very awkward way. I'm sure its more functional than say the GTS super good looking integrated one though.

What a fantasy to take that beaut to track day!

$335,000 what a freaking ripoff. pfffft

That's what people pay for this sort of pro prepped machine.

Does anyone have any real data on what some of the other Rolex series GTs cost?

A 911 rsr will set you back a similar amount if not more...for a factory prepped spec race car this isn't a bad deal At all...

that's the price of entry for such a sport.. it's not so much the car as it is the support behind the car, and the limited numbers being sold which the cost of R&D is spread over.

But yea, from strictly value standpoint, it's way over priced considering a GTR or GT500 would likely perform as well on the same track (perhaps no in terms of handling, but overall position), and thoise cars are under $100k.

I know it's a purpose built race car, but the fit/finish is atrocious. If it weren't for the centerlocks, I would have guessed it came out of some shade tree tuner shop.

Do explain? Only because of the fender flares bolt holes are the only things that stick out to me - everything else looks good.

+1

All the surfaces look wavy, and the seems don't quite line up. It's like they weren't able to match the contours of the oem body quite right, so they just cranked the screws down tighter to close up the gaps as best they could. I've seen better quality body kits on Civics in town.
I do think the overall design looks great though, and of course the aesthetics are irrelevant for a race car.

To each his own but to be honest - I am missing what you are seeing. I think I like it better this way and I'll leave it there and just enjoy it as I see it :D

:shift:

This has got to be the only car over 100k that only has 6 cylinders, And its 335,000!!!!

You can get a overpriced lexus lfa for that money. PFFFT!!!!

Aside from the pricey 911 models, yes...probably. But the engineering in that Evora is bloody nice.

:rolleyes:

Porsche GT3 RSR is also 6 cylinder and costs 498k Euro, 611k USD.

Why?
Because racecar.

completely missing the point of a car like this....or anything in its class.

So waht happened to the Alex Job racing team entry?

They're still actively racing in ALMS

When/where to catch ALMS on the tube?

+1 to this. I'll set my DVR now.
