All aluminium body
Aluminum and titanium suspension and structural components
One piece un-sprung and barely padded seats.
Two seats smaller than 86.
Minimalist interior
Expensive lightweight wheels
Very doubtful would even come close to meeting US crash requirements.
If available here would be pushing $100,000

It is NOT your standard mass produced inexpensive coupe and to expect the same from such would be a pipe dream.
