New RS200

Everyone is going nuts over the thought of a "Remastered" RS200.
From Pistonheads to Jalopnick to Top Gear. The articles all say the same thing and use the same stock images but just imagine, eh?

Pretty cool but I'm sure it'll be yet another $500k++ restomod, of which they'll build half a dozen, and none of them will ever see actual road use (except for the press ones).

It's not a restomod, it's a new car.

"It’ll come via Boreham Motorworks – a UK company that specialises in recreating old classics –"

So, it's an old resto-mod that whiffs of financial elitism.
