I've driven a couple of these and they really are a hoot, once you get the hang of the transmission. They usually have 4 headlights, this one must have some sort of aftermarket kit, which I prefer.

Cool Car. I would love to take one for a drive. Could you explain more about the transmission? It's a flappy-paddle sequential gearbox right?

Kinda looks like one of the characters from Cars :) Didn't even know this car existed.. Looks like it would be foot to rip around in!

It runs the 700cc turbo 3 cylinder engine. The box is either a full auto, or a sequential manual without a clutch, which has an auto option. It's not as slick an an Audi/Lambo e-gear, but it's OK.

McLaren F1 designer and general omnipotent god Gordon Murray loves his one of these. Says it drives like an original Lotus Elan, which is as high as praise gets, I guess.
