Not a 348 Spider. That is a 348TS.

As far as entirely generic, corporate boardroom-approved body shells go, these are wonderful.

There is the ONLY calculus that can answer your question:

It's a good effort, but nothing compared to Vandora, the Supervan.

Well yeah, now that you mention it, maybe Jaguar can get some of the gang back together from the British Leyland days and start making 1978 XJS's and Rover SD1's again. I mean, if a ZIL is getting a quarter million, an XJS has got to be worth $750k.

WHAT?! A quarter-million dollars for a Soviet-era shitbox made from sheetmetal with more waves in it that the north shore of Oahu and assembled in a factory that looks as though it hasn't been updated since 1972?

Thank you. Yes. So goddamn stupid.

Can we just all have a gentleman's agreement right here and now to never ever ever use the word 'hellaflush' on Jalopnik ever again. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Well executed you say? What's so bad about a replica?

Cool is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I like the US version better; those LED's look tacky.

That's so true, its gross. I've been over there a bunch for work, and now that I think about it I don't recall ever even seeing a car wash. Maybe one of those like mini-wash things at a gas station... but nothing like we have here.

You guys, this isn't a real business. It's comedy. She's not actually going to have a Walk Of Shame shuttle.

Nobody? The Elise saved the company. Yes it was low-volume, but Lotus rarely ever sold more than a few hundred units a year of any car. In fact, that used to be their biggest selling point; Mike Kimberly said on several occasions that Lotus would never be a mass-production car company, even by sports car standards.

The SRT was basically an SLK32 AMG with a Crossfire body, and that was indeed a fast car.

As the owner of a proper old Lotus (1985 Turbo Esprit), there isn't a day goes by that I don't want to smash Danny Bahar's head in a car door, Vinny Jones style.

They were never meant to be 'performance' engines; they're basically just the standard Mercedes 3.2 V6 with a Chrysler badge.

This actually looks like a really fun way to blow off an evening. I mean, how many of us play Xbox or just surf randomly on the internet to kill time? Messing around with miniature construction equipment sounds like a blast, to be honest.

Talented videographers, semi-retarded lameass car modifiers.

The 928 is one of the few cars from that era whose early models look much worse than they did with the later spoiler/skirt updates.

I'm not exactly sure what their deal with the FXX is. It's still listed with them online but there aren't any pictures of it actually being onsite, just some track shots from who-knows-where. Sounds like they're just brokering the sale, probably non-exclusively.
