Can’t see this has been shared. Personally not taken by the design in the same way as the Disco Volante, but I like what they’ve done to the exhaust note.

Hmmmm.....Interesting.....would be curious if this has long term potential or will be a limited financial success.

I "kind of" like the outside.

The inside is 100% GT....The designer says "we gave a completely different character/profile" on the interior upper part of the panels"....not sure I see an major change or even an improvement at that.

Would be curious how much MORE this cost than a new GT...then what would the depreciation be???????

Dont like that at all....The back reminds me of the De Tomaso Mangusta from the 80's/90's...or was it the Qvale Mangusta then as they bought the design I think.......It looks like it was designed in the 80's not 2018. Not for me....I take the car it's based on.

Like the roof and the seat stitching....you can keep the rest.

Interesting, is it just me or do you also see hints or Alfieri at the front?

"You're just hanging a suit on the man, not changing the man...."
Or, to put it another way...hanging off coat tails...?!

There is something a little incongruous about the way it presents....And it looks obviously influenced by American styling....!?
It sounds "maginifique" however ! :p

Well they’re limiting to 10 cars, each hand built and taking six months, plus donor car of course. Not going to be cheap. I think you’re going to be north of £500k for one.

insane, obviously intended for the mega wealthy where 500k plus is a drop in the ocean and a must have toy to keep up with other wealthy car collectors on the list, wonder how many buyers actually like the shape instead of buying into all the bullcr4p spewing out of the sales pitch

I was thinking exactly that with a couple of other cars in the frame from that era. Looking at some of the company's later work, they seem to have lost some of the finesse they used to have. I think Zagato does it so much better.

Ugh - how to take a beautiful design and render it crass and ugly. Am I imagining it or is JL deeply unimpressed too (notwithstanding his words of approbation)?

Believe it or not, this car was blocking my QP when I picked up today from the garage! It’s sporting an Italian number plate and has been bought by a collector. It’s being re-registered on a U.K. plate - inside the car is very stock but under the bonnet is some beautiful carbon fibre and a plaque with the signatures of the builders plus a big fat no 1 - at present it stil is 1/1 - gotta say - even in the flesh....not sure I liked it!

I watched the whole video, and feel for the floppy haired chap who designed it, but it's not quite right. And has a lot more standard bits than he seems to claim are custom.

That is the most boring Jay Leno's garage video I've watched to date. Didn't make it halfway!
