North America 541-482-9555 x315

Call them and ask, I'm sure they'd love to tell you all about it (:

Price as tested for Top Gear was a mere 35,000 British Pounds, less than 1/10th the cost of an Enzo. XE.com says that's $63,603.71 US dollars. Plus the cost of putting it on a boat. You're probably looking at $85,000 to have it on US soil, keeping in mind that it's not road legal.

ha, that list is outdated. there is a new number one on the power lap rankings.

They can be made street legal. My guess is that it's done by shipping the engine/tranny in a seperate crate and then installing them once they are in the US. I believe it can then be registered as a kit car.

There is a guy in washington state that owns two of them. He had one for sale for something like $50,000. He was selling it because it was an earlier generation and he wanted the newer version.

There was a recent article, that I believe is on the ariel website, confirming that these cars will be imported and be street legal.
