New British sportscar!

[YSSMAN]

... I would go lower and shoot for the Elise, that undoubtedly would be a better car...

 

[Raghavan]

Yeah, the Elise is still a much better ca.r

 

[FastEddie12]

You really wonder about the people who design these kind of things: if you want to sell an unknown brand of sportscar, just make it sexy! Noble made the same mistake, and they've only just put it right (kind of) with the new model. But that new thing looks like some cheap kitcar version of the Elise....

It's not rocket science....

 

[YSSMAN]

...I dont think the car would ever sell that well in the US unless the performance/price comparison was outstanding. The design looks like it is from 1999, and using the 3.0L Duratec V6 isnt going to set any performance standards.

 

[Poverty]

Them nobles are real rockets and they use the 3.0L Duratec.

 

[YSSMAN]

...Remember Poverty, that version of the Duratec is highly modified... Twin turbos, custom heads, etc. Its not the same one in your Grandma's Taurus.

 

[xXSilencerXx]

That thing is ugly.

 

[NSX-R]

If it wants to compete with established sports car brands, it needs to have something they don't have and then some because ladk of reputation is not going to help them...

Don't worry folks. I'll bet an entire apple pie that you won't hear of this car outside of this thread. Rest easy.

Looks like a toy, and considering how small and light it looks, the 200+hp duratec should be able to push it to 60mph in well under 5.5 seconds. Tires look like theyre too thin for a sports car. It looks old, has ugly wheels, and its slabsided.

Id take either the elise or the noble in a second over that.

 

[eliseracer]

The Elise has fairly narrow tires as well (175/55 and 225/45).

Mmm...pie...

Do you really wanna bet?

Hey, look, another place that talks about the car!

Now where's my pie?

 

[Appie]

it looks nice

 

[Revolution.]

Hmmmm, look interesting, it has been said before but it does look very much like a first-gen Lotus Exige crossed with a Noble M12.

 

[Blackbird.]

It looks like something that would be designed in the 90s, not present era.

 

[eliseracer]

Mmm...pie...

Do you really wanna bet?

Hey, look, another place that talks about the car!

Now where's my pie?

Of course if you search the internet you'll find somehting. I'm talking magazine reviews and other media coverage. Even Nobles get the occasional write-up in the paper.

 

[Blackbird.]

Not really occassional. It seems like every year a magazine reviews it or something.

This is what pops out 9 months after a 360 and a Elise make whoopie.
