I had 2 of these ...."I can't tell you what they are yet" sportscars at my home for a photo shoot yesterday. It is a limited production only 150 total to be made worldwide. The price ...$256,000..! 600 horsepower...metal hardtop folds inside the trunk. 0 to 60 claimed to be 3.8 seconds. Should be in "Automobile" next month. with my home in the backround.....and other magizines ..Car and driver...Road and track soon after. They are very nicely designed ...That is all I can say since the story hasn't broken yet.

I was fortunate to edit a magazine for car collectors a for a while and got to see how the automobile marketing machine works. I still smile when I see wetted asphalt and cars photographed in the "golden hour"...often in the same locations in the Palm Springs area. Man, we had some fun in addition to endless work and money juggling. The people were great.

This looks like a beautiful automobile. From some of the component and surface relationships, this looks like it may have some Bavarian relatives on the planet of its origin. Wow, that must've been fun to experience!

I can't wait to see it in glossy four color! Neat!

Nice cars, nice wheels,they look kinda familiar also ;), but no way those low profiles would survive the potholes of New England, or a sewer cap in Boston.
You have a beautiful home Mark, and I think He was lucky that you allowed him to use it for the shoot.
