I still liked the proto "Volta" ..

But this would do ..

They were never going to win anything with Ralf driving for them now were they

Must admit that Volta concept was very nice. Certainly more interesting on the eye than the VW W12 concept that nver saw the light of day.

The Volta would have been good .. Hybrid, so no conjestion charge and cheap tax

Dear lord .. on PH, but it's over £300k ..

They are making 500 world wide.

It needs to be serviced by TTE (Toyota F1, based in Europe)

And they've sold 2 in the UK already.

Best to consider it as a piece of art - then it makes sense.

Absolutely. Like the shit that Maurice Saatchi buys, it makes absolutely no sense in the real world.

I'd have to disagree with you there.

Modern art makes a helluva lot of sense from Saatchi's POV - the returns the guy has made on some pieces are quite staggering.
