Looks a hell of a lot better in the flesh than in the photos.

... still don’t want one though

Few people have said that. Given it's a first stab imagine they can fix the issues at the back end yet

Supposedly prices around £150k were spoken about when talking to Peter but I suppose it's quite early to be guessing, I'd struggle to justify this over a 540c at that price point personally...

150k, it will fail. Apart from its looks nothing excites me about it and I'd rather just pay the extra for a Mclaren which is in another league TBH, or grab a GT3, I'd say it needs to be 100k max and even then its just not doing it for me from the pictures so far.

Rather have the new Supra at half the price, probably be the better drive considering how much time BMW/Toyota have put into the new platform.

I guess for me this noble still has that kit car look and a V6 just cannot justify a triple digit price tag, but saying that there are a few Lotus at nearly triple digits which are very nice so what do I know, will have to check it out for sure.

But after the SVR I only see two possible directions for next car, either something like a 570S or a GT3 or just keep the SVR.

Looks alright but the only new thing that caught my eye at GW was the 600LT, love the rear end for some reason.

Might've got pretty drunk one night and wondered round insulting anything non-German because I couldn't park my GT3 in the hotel car park which was full of McLaren's and other junk

Love the front and the sides but the back I am not too sure about.

Let me take you for a blast in the Radical...

Keep the SVR and buy a proper track/race car.

Meh... I liked sitting in Bruno’s MSO Carbon Senna... 600LT doesn’t do much for me... but then I’ll be one of the first with a 760LT.

Been in radical and yes they are totally insane but I'd never want a track only car as I like to enjoy them on road, why I was looking at Caterhams and still might consider one, not the quickest thing but I love the fun and joking around factor they offer.
