cruiser647 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 On some of those pictures, it looks as if the Golf is going through the Ring, not around it! On a more serious note - 22lb weight saving on the brakes for each wheel? They really are anchors! Why can't they put them into production for normal road cars? In this unstoppable race for lower CO2 blah blah, that must help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no rear seats it's just not what I need from a car, 150 are coming to the UK, expect them to cost between £35-40k if you manage to get one, no doubt the prices will remain rock solid.
