The V8 is a beast. Saw it in the latest DVD of Clarkson.

My current fav car
.
Clarkson had three days of Imola tracktime, during which the V8 left a 911 "something or other" standing (can't remember any 911 models
). He was v.impressed by the Pagani R
More importantly, they're also trying to land an R22 on top of a Yeti - SWMBO's new car (if it ever arrives).

I wonder if the lap record is about to be smashed?

£150k for a motorised bedstead
Makes the Caterham Levante look a bargain...

Lets face it - if you want one and are considering buying one, its not really a VFM question.
Also i think the gearbox alone in this is about £60k!
I'll let you know what i think of it

Had a look around the V8 and Mugen Atom at the Autosport show on Saturday
V8 egine looks really compact and the detail and build quality on the cars was really impressive

According to Tom at the factory, there are only two left for sale (out of 25 planned), so if you want one, I'd get your order in before Sunday...
I followed it for several miles on the open road as part of a group of sixty atoms that drove from the factory to Goodwood in August. It looks and sounds awesome. Can't wait to see how fast it is on track.
