Nice. We'll have to wrap JG in extra bubble wrap.

I've only known these existed thanks to Forza, but I'd love to see one up close.

My understanding is that they are like Caterhams, just built to fit larger people in them. Didn't realize they used Audi engines, though.

Yawn.....

Another $250K car that can't be driven to utilize its potential except on a track, and is probably a pretty miserable drive when not on a track.....

I just don't see the point of these or Ariel Atoms and the like.....and I used to own a Super 7, so I do know what they're like to live with.

It's possible to build a 7 that's fun on the street. The secret is not to equip it with massive grip, which is exactly what Caterham has done with their entry level model. Then it's about feedback and the experience. Basically a motorcycle that doesn't fall over.

Too bad that the 'DONK' personalized license plate is already taken by some guy in a customized Chevy.  smiley
