Not keen. Looks like a car that's styled, not designed. Which is surprising, given that, as you say, it's fugly.

I doubt Richard Oakes was involved in that one!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

When even the manufacturer thinks it's unattractive you can predict failure with fairly high confidence.
It will take a lot to get it though SVA (like an engine cover), or is it a track only car. In which case it's too heavy.

Designed on the back of a match box, and how are you supposed to see past that scuttle.

I saw this at the Autosport and after pointing and laughing walked on, not even realising it was from GTM. Have you checked out how much suspension
travel there isn't at the front? What the hell do those stupid curved beams do apart from looking silly and catching on the tyres? And a
triangular roll bar might work out for a single seater, but this isn't one.
I have the artistic abilities of a retarded baboon, but I reckon I could come up with something that looks considerably better. In fact I think my 18
month old daughter could.
Onyx must like it though, it makes their cars look positively handsome.

I think someone forgot to add the bodywork
The only positive thing I can say is that the nose looks quite nice.
I am not sure how they expect it to drive when the front tyres will rub the chassis under any roll or droop.
The roll bar adds nothing to the design other than stupidity. What do they expect it will do for the driver in the event of a rollover.
I like the Libra and the Spyder but I think they have lost the plot on this one.
WHY????
Summer's here!!!!

I agree about the rollbar, wonder what a scrutineer would say about it?
I think this is the first new design since GTM changed owners after the death of Peter Beck. Most of their previous cars were designed by Richard
Oakes.

Saw it at Autosport and quite frankly it's hideous!! I meantioned that they may have an issue with the tyres rubbing and he said it's a
prototype and that will get sorted, I added that they'd have to sort more than the wheel clearances!!!!

The worst bit of it is the reported "development budget of £250,000"
I could do better than that for £250!

ooh look some of their strategy:
"Strategy
The West Midlands Economic Strategy
Advantage West Midlands and its many partners use the West Midlands Economic Strategy (WMES) as their guide to delivering economic development and
regeneration activity in the region. The document – first published in 1999 and updated in 2004 – provides the focused approach needed to make best
use of around £20 billion of combined resources available to the region over the next five years. "
soooooooooooo
I'm a chap who could do with a few quid and can chuck a car together that will fool a few ill-informed suits into giving me £250,000, from their
budget of £20,000,000,000 worth of taxpayers money shouldn't dent it enough for anybody to notice!!!
