Yes Roadster
Anyone check these out yet? Aluminum space frame, 255 to 439hp, 1900lbs, $77k+, and coming to the US. Styling is supposed to be "similar to an Elise" but it looks more like a baby Audi TT to me. It is at www.yesroadster.com

I actually like it a lot, it looks like the love child of a TT and a Zonda.

oughta go like stink, but beside a lotus it looks homely as a mud fence.
of course, i'm not partial to the TT shape. beauty has to count for something. but then, i'm usually out of step....

I don't know about that car. It has too much going on. Parts of it remind me an Eclipse. Very rice rockety to me.

I've seen a couple in person. They make the Elise look luxurious. There is basically a bare Al frame, seats, seat belts, a steering wheel, gauges, pedals and a shift lever. The top is a tent you have to construct over the cockpit.
