I agree,

With a production run of 1500 they'll depreciate like the Viper, or any other sports car.

Not sure if they'll use it to full capacity. They might want to retain some sort of exclusivity.

Also wondering about the maturity cycle of the car. If the car is an homage to the original, what are they going to do after five years or so? Are they going to continue it as a new line of performance cars or is it just going to disappear?

But how many years of productoin do you think they'll run? Actually, at 1500 a year, there's no way it's going to hold value.

Dan -

I beleive production is set at 1500 units/year. The aluminum space-frame chassis' production line was developed based upon a maximum output of 1500 units.

Jordan: I guess that depends on whether they pump them out like Mustangs, huh?

I think that the timing could be a little better, but from what I understand, there's a reasonably long wait list for these bad boys.

I do have to admit, thats going to be an awesome car! 150k isnt bad for a car like that. I wonder if it will depreciate much?

It's going to be quite a car for the money, I think. Not in the Bentley GT sense, but still.

I think it's slotted for $150k.

Will be interesting to see if they stay in target.
