As are the Boxster GTS 4.0, GT4 and Spyder.

The T.50 looks good but nothing that really stands out to me, but then again, the F1 never really did much for me in the looks department. I love the ethos of this car. NASP engine, manual, small, nimble, lightweight. At the same time. US regulations for safety usually add a lot of weight. For example, the Alfa 4C in EU is under 2000 lbs, but in the US it is 2300-2400, so you’re looking at 15-20% weight penalty for US DOT Regs. Yes, turbos, big wheels and tires, nav and tech add weight, but they are no bigger than DOT items, if not less. My guess would be, when the T.50 is stateside, it’s 2100-2200 lbs. Still impressive, but should be heavier when stateside. Then again, only people who already own 918s, LaFerraris, P1s, Chirons, etc will be buying them in the first place.
