    5.0-litre Cosworth-developed V8. An expected power output of 480bhp will result in a 200mph top speed and a 0-60mph time of just 4 seconds.
    ...
    A limited run of 500 'Launch Edition' cars, priced at £90,000, is already selling fast
    I can really see a lot of those on the road. BTW, I have a 3 litre straight six with 430hp and 190mph top speed and 0-60 in 3.9 seconds but still has 4 doors and cost 20 grand less than that, German made of course so I don't think they're on course to rival anyone much.

    I would buy one though, possibly
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        My next one (probably) will be a 2.9l V6 with 503hp, limited to 191mph, 0-60 in 3.9, 5 doors, raised off the ground a lot more than yours, and about the same price as yours too, but from a bit further south, through Switzerland and then up over a pass.
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          When my lotto numbers come up - I will wave from my helicopter.

          But seriously, It must be crushingly painful when a Saxo throws up a stone and cracks your windscreen?

          Much as I like the idea of a tasty motor, the pain of a stonechip even to my motor hurts like hell.

            Australia demands the same rights in the UK as EU citizens

            So when the UK's arm has been twisted to allow freedom of movement for EU citizens to get a trade deal, every other country will demand it too, and the UK will end up with mass migration * 10.

              The last Italian car I owned, I got it wrapped in clear plastic before it left the showroom. No stone chips, and all I had to do was wash the dirt off to reveal the original showroom polish

                Does that protect the windscreen too?

                  No, but windscreens are cheap/easy to replace. Getting a respray and you never get exactly the same colour/finish.

                    Sure, as long as you wrap it properly....

                      I don't think it's being built to replace your over powered commuter penis extension.

                      It's what us gentrified folk call a toy or Sunday car.

                      But I understand that may be out of many peoples reach.
