Here's a red one.  And it's actually compared to the Cayman GTS.

How they are made...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-NFG4bUHgI  Pretty intimate space for a car factory.

Harry picked up his car and did a five part video on it as he went for a very long drive to break it in.

So much want.  But my goodness the delay in releasing it, the dealer network, and just the uncertainty of it all...I still really really would love to get one.  The accountant in me just can't justify it.

I finally got to see the Emira in the flesh at a dealership in Florida, it was the blue with black pack and yellow calipers.  Gorgeous car, exactly like the pics/video, but definitely small.  Sign me up if it didn't involve a 2-3 year wait!

Still my favourite car right now.  I would take it over everything but maybe a 911 GT3 Touring.

Quite expensive for a kit car!
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...
