so what?

 

Hey Mike I sent you a PM.. I was wondering how the zagato did during testing.

 

'So what' here is very important to potential customers looking at the car during development who might make a purchase / place a deposit on what they see....

Remember the Vantage RS??? it was the forerunner to V12V and had a 600BHP motor with amazing exhaust note, suspension and brakes. Customers saw this in prototype - placed a deposit before even seeing the real production car, and what was delivered in production V12V was not what was touted during development in the 'RS' - a great shame...

Same in Zcar by all accounts...

Think the motor inside that green race car will be delivered in production, think the exhaust will sound like that, think this performance / accel time of the car will be that in the production cars- all, no chance. So anybody who might be looking at this car now thinking their deposit will buy this car and its exact features in the future for me is 'so what'.... this is a marketing sham and it has backfired..
A production engine / powertrain unit would have lasted more than 46 mins as it would have been fully durability tested and not a 'wild-card' powertrain to coerce potential buyers.

 

interesting bit of information!

 

It looks like a Nissan 370Z. It even has the Z!
