    I'm suprised they haven't started using the 2.0T since there is no added weight penalty or increase in external dimensions, but they get more hp/tq. I wonder if it is related to the tunability of the FSI heads.

    Yeah, but at the same time, you wouldn't kick it out of bed... The Driving experience has got to be right up there.

    I'm sure this is much more functional at high speeds and in cases like the Nurburgring where Donkervoort has been shooting for all-out production car lap records. Still, I'm a bit partial to the open top D8, more true to the Lotus 7 design.... but still a Lotus 7 on crack.

    Since it's a Donkervoort, I'm thinking that the price will be somewhere in the $80K + range.

    It's gorgeous, but I'm still limited by my pocketbook: It'll be a Stalker v6 or a Westfield for me. *sigh*
