Interesting new middy clubman

Just reading the Geneva Motor Show report on Ultimate Car Page and came across this very interesting little beastie from Ken Okuyama Design - the K.O 7.






There's also a K.O 8 Coupe but it's the appropriately names 7 that really catches my eye. Opinions?

I think it looks more like a Motoleria, with the dual hoop, Very Nice though. IIRC don't Caterham get Very upset about anyone using the 7 branding?

That's true - I had forgotten about their possessiveness of a single digit (I notice they don't have any issues with BMW using it ).

The thing I left out of my original post was the expected price. The aim is a production run of 99 cars at circa US$100,000 each

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like it has doors, which only leaves a fairly small sill section in the middle. Unless it has an enornous centre tunnel, which a can't see room for wouldn't it just fold up in the middle!!!





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

The details are beautiful!

The 'details' photos on the website are great - the LED headlights on the coupe, the wishbones, the wheels, I could go on.

Luurrrvely.....

Sorry, but it leaves me cold. Too "fussy" for a lightweight car, plus the wheels are not to my taste at all. Looks like a toy "future car" done by hotwheels in the 70's.

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.
