I would upgrade the headlights a BIT, nothing drastic, but this thing is s-e-x-y!



Saw it on a recent episode of Top Gear where Clarkson chooses it over the new TVR Tuscan.











Top Gear reported that it used an M3 motor, but their site says a V8 that has pretty much the same specs as the E46 M3 motor. At any rate, here are the stats:

6spd Gearbox

RWD



Maximum speed: 280 km/h - Acceleration 0 -100 km/h: 4.6 sec.


If you get a chance, head over to The Pirate Bay and download episode 3 of this season. I believe that's the one where they drive this beast. The suspension is pretty amazing.

I saw that episode when it came out - looked like a really cool car, just a pity it can't compete with the tuscan pricewise (not that it makes any difference to me )

Except that thing won't break down every 20 miles and can actually handle. And it's German.

That episode was so funny, a Russian and a German company competing to be the best British sportscar...



That car is so sexy. I'd hit it.
