~2650 lbs and 480hp? Yeah sign me up!

Pretty hard not to fall in love with this. Lightweight, high-powered RWD manual sportscar? It's about as heavy as an S2000 with double the power.

Plus, it's got a Mustang engine, which I interpret to mean A) I can make a bazillion torks and horsies and B) I don't have to care if I blow it up the way I would care if I blew up a Porsche. I get it, Cosworth has already Cosworthified it, but it's nice to know that I can go crazy if I want to.

I love it.

We need more modern, durable, simple sports cars.

This right here is what I'm digging. Mustang engine aren't pocket change, but they aren't made from unicorn tears eager. And honestly, 500hp is plenty in a 2700 pound car.

Launch price is 90k pounds which comes out to 121k USD. I wonder what it would price at if it came stateside.

No VAT, so maybe $90k?

Awesome. I wish more cottage industry cars would come out but make more affordable cars. Heck you could even use a domestic v6 which these days are a dime a dozen and make 300hp. Imagine that in a sub 3000lb rwd car.

Imagine if Toyota had simply taken the FR-S/BRZ/GT86 platform, shoved the windshield and front-seaters aft a good 20" (losing rear seats but tremendously improving f/r weight distribution), and installed the 3.5 liter Lexus V6 shoved further aft in place of the fairly front-mounted boxer 4. Boom, 306hp, less than 3000 lb sports car with better (more rearward) than 50/50 weight distribution for reasonable $$$$. But no, we're gonna get a bloated overweight BMW Supra instead

Mr.E.G.

Yup.
