Overpriced junk IMHO. Too big and fugly. But the engine sounds like a Spitfire at full bore - I've seen them do customer test drives along the (Top Gear) runway at Dunsfold aerodrome where the thing can stretch its legs. Amazing sound. I was also cruising along our main (interstate) motorway, the M1, last year at a steady 85 when I saw one of those blighters in my rear view mirror. It came out of nowhere and blasted past like I was parked, overtaking and undertaking. Waaay into three-digit speeds. Mental. Quite a few have been bent.
