You wrote “sports car body”. I think you meant “oil tanker”.

Yes, one victory at the greatest race in the world against top-flight competition does disqualify it from being a failure.

5th at the 2012 Petit Le Mans, which would have been 3rd if they were allowed the same passes during SC periods as the cars they were racing with (due to not competing for points or championships). It was knocked off the circuit at Le Mans, which wasn’t the cars fault. I wouldn’t say it was a failure...

The Aston Martin AMR One LMP1 (not to be confused with the AMR1).

I believe the correct British term is “poxy hatchback”.

Yay, in at #8, I’m so 2000 and late!

Exceptions exist, but they are very location-specific. To make a profit, this car will need to sell in a lot of countries which currently restrict new car sales to vehicles they consider “safe”. I can’t see Renault taking the financial risk of developing a car for too small a market.

The A110 is tiny. To make it comply with safety regulations and fit 21st Century adults in it, it’s going to need to be a lot larger. And not rear-engined. It will need to be completely redesigned, which is pretty much what they’ve done. We can judge the looks when they show it to us.

A 911 fighter? The power (if 250bhp) will be less than a base model Cayman (and 100bhp less than a base 911 Carrera), and if they make it super-light to compensate they’ll have to forego luxury equipment and fittings, thus making it even less 911-like.
