That's how car manufacturers cut development costs by using a shared platform.

The twin is a purpose built sports car - not a performance or sporty version of another car. In that sense, I consider it to be a true sports car. A sports car which you can buy new without breaking the bank.


I am sure people do all kinds of shit. When I mentioned a sports car... I meant it exactly that.... and this "The twin is a purpose built sports car - not a performance or sporty version of another car. In that sense, I consider it to be a true sports car. A sports car which you can buy new without breaking the bank." is the kind of stuff I am looking for / what I wanted to hear.
