While all of the above is true my car is faster than the T.50 when I am driving my car and the T.50 is parked.

I'm still annoyed that we haven't heard anything about the T.40, the affordable sports car Murray has been working on. Not a peep in 2+ years. I fear the worst.

I guess you mean the T.43? I have my doubts that it will ever be produced, and even if it did it would probably compete price-wise with high trim Caymans. There's no way we'll ever see an Elise like car that is affordable. I will be super happy to be proven wrong, though.

Yes, thank you T.43.

He said affordable, and $100k Caymans are not affordable. I have the belief he could do it for around $40k...

However, a LOT has changed since any news came out about the T.43. We haven't heard anything since pre-COVID. Not a good sign. And its powered by Ford's turbo 3...does Ford even still build that engine? lol.

Bear with me, watching these videos I think I get a bit tired of hearing it rev much like with GT Porsches, I can't imagine that would be true in person getting the full sensory experience though. NA engines that don't mind revving to high RPM are wonderful.


Also I really love the exterior spec, that blue and bits of unpainted carbon fiber on silver wheels is ace.



And the looks have grown on me, the compact dimensions of this and the F1 are just so special given the performance.

A very special car, for sure. I like how small, light, and pure it is compared to modern 1000-2000HP hypercars. Although it’s not as good looking as the original F1, I think the styling is far more timeless than today’s supercars, most of which already look a bit dated to my eye. Good luck to a very few who can afford it.
