Saw my first 19 plate car today. It was an MG ZS. I was disappoint.

I'm getting on a bit and not up with the modern lingo. Is it cool these days to finish words early?

Looks far from beautiful from the front that's for sure!

Aside from their website, I can't seem to find much information about them. They don't seem to have much of an online presence. Are they a fairly new manufacturer?

Haven't got a clue, didn't actually speak to the guys who brought it along but they were Hammink Performance.

Its a chopped up and add lightness Impreza for £65k? Surely money is spent better elsewhere for a lightweight track focused weapon?

It was cool at least a decade ago.

The Sirius car weighs as little as 880 kg
400BHP to 1000 BHP

Seems to be absolutely nothing about it on youtube though, which is weird for such a (presumably) quick car. I would have thought they'd be showing off the performance on trackdays etc.

Maybe no one survived.

I don't mean to be a bore but, is it really that good looking? It looks like a decidedly average British hybrid kit-car come homebrew supercar to me.

My thoughts exactly. Looks like something Dave put together in his shed.

Still considerably better than something Barry put together in -his- shed mind you.

Looks quite similar to these https://www.factoryfive.com/818/818r/

In fact, I think it might be one

Diddums · 9 Mar 2019 at 11:46

It looks crap. I suspect the performance is ridiculous.

Nasher · 9 Mar 2019 at 14:52

I like the look of the Coupe version a lot more.

It is, it is one of those... So you can pay £10K to build it yourself + all the donor parts needed, or pay £65K for one to be built for you.

Err... Bargain?
