I hadn't realised how much it looks like the Emira.

I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't sound like they are selling so I am waiting for the big depreciation hit, lol. I have a Porsche Taycan EV but i think i would trade her in for THIS.

If Taycan trade in values are anything like they are here in the UK you'd be able to buy a single wheel.

Absolutely. I was offered 87k Canadian last year from a dealer but too good of a car overall to sell for that. I paid almost 190k when you factor taxes etc back in early 2022.
Funny, my wife was going to buy the orange special edition Emira and 2 dealerships offered her 100k for her Taycan. Maybe people are coming around to nicer EVs. Here is the driveway with no orange Emira unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure the MSRP is in the 2.5M range which is a lot seeing as how you can pick up a 918/P1 for that right now which already has collector status.

But a typical buyer probably already has a 918 and a P1.

If these had the same powertrain as the Gordon Murray T.50/T.33 they'd sell as many as they could make. It really is one of the best looking cars out there IMO.
