Fantastic. Now the only Scandanavian nation not to have a sports car is Norway.

What a good work...the car looks like a bit the new lotus elise, and it has its own personality, a personal colour as well...the technical data is as good in general as its competitors such as the elise, the vauxhall vx220.....and once you have a good set up of suspensions, brakes....youll get a brilliant enough car to launch it on the market........well done....

Sweet little car...nice looking...hints of the Renault Sport Spider, Impreza WRX, Zonda, Elise and particularly the new Korean Proto Spirra

The instrument cluster reminds me a little of the Pagani Zonda. What is up with that 'mailbox slot' in front of the driver? Also, in the video; they show the driver shifting gears. I think they should move that aluminum vertical structure that's in front of the shifter a few inches farther forward. 'Whaap'! That wouldn't feel good if you get a little agressive with the shift and your knuckles hit it. I see a little bit of Lambo Gaillardo in the form of the hard edge shape that is sculpted in the sides. Ford is looking into it, eh? I doubt they would use this design vehicle, but they should produce an affordable sportscar like Pontiac will be doing. But if this thing did come to the US; expect the front end to gain some girth in order to pass front end collision rules.
