Looks like a more livable Elise/Exige, with V6 torque, and can you imagine the capabilities? The 4-banger in the smaller guys has a lot of work to do, and really only hits decently above 5k rpm. With this 3.5L, torque is probably available a lot quicker. Add a small, fast spooling turbo, and I bet this thing would be ridiculously fun.

Who knows, I'm hoping around $55k-60k considering the Elise pricing. Then a higher priced model later? It's wicked cool looking.

If it's under $60k, I'd buy one of these over a GT-R or Z06, and then do some performance mods on it. I would imagine $10k would get a turbo+intercooler for the Toyota 3.5L that sits in there. Getting it all to fit and keeping it cool might be a challenge though.
