What ever happened to having a car you could drive the poo out of, and not worry about the size of your gearshift?

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> Here we have definitive proof that just because you can doesn't automatically mean you should. I predict that this will become the picture accompanying the word "overkill" and perhaps "overengineered" in future dictionaries.

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> It's kind of a sacrilege to take something as simple and brutally effective as the original Cobra design and lard it down with all these pissy wood/leather/electronic cosmetic accents and gewgaws. Sometimes less really is more.

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> also: what kind of joke is 'poly silicate matrix' ?

And am i the only person who thinks a large part of the current focus on 'coach building' is as a result of Supercars.net coverage of concours d'elegances like Pebble Beach?

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> I, for one would stick with a Spyker.
I think there was a dragon focus group.

Weather and darkness will not be an issue

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> Are we sure this wasn't designed by dragons?

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> very nice, but what's with the bags under the eyes. Was it up partying all night?

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> I like how the electronically-operated fuel door only weighs 8 pounds. I wonder how much a cable-operated fuel door weighs? 1 pound and change maybe? You'd think that if you go to the expense of making an all-carbon fiber body for your car, you'd follow through with the weight savings elsewhere, rather than wasting it on electronically-opening fuel doors.

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> There's no doubt that this car has some very cool features but, face it, $600k for an Iconic is just plain moronic.

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> Anyone know why there seems to be dual e-brake levers? Could it be that the passenger side is an oh-shit-handle that just looks like an e-brake lever?

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> On behalf of Roget and Webster, I hereby request that Jalopnik and TTAC please never use any of the following in a car writeup, ever again. Their consistent usage has exceeded that of common diction by over 100-fold:

Bespoke
Ersatz
Erstwhile

Thank you for your understanding.

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> @FLB: Exactly. And "bespoke" - please let's not start using that word on this site. Speak 'Merican, for chrissakes!

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> Pretty awesome but I think I'd still go with the Factory Five Racing version slap a supercharger on it and pocket the extra $580K.

Dr.Danger, I run the Death Star

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> It looks and sounds like it is nicely engineered. Too bad it looks like a really bad 427 Cobra kit car. Why couldn't they have used some of the other classic cars he rattled off as inspiration for the design in the actual design of the car?

Carroll Shelby would be spinning in his grave were he not still alive.

Watch out for horny dragons

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> What a weird mix of awesome and ridiculous.

I do like the engine's hot sex tubes.

Since when is Jalopnik a British site?

FLB

]]> <![CDATA[The Iconic GTR Roadster: All About The Details]]> It's beautiful, but I wonder how it handles in turns. That is a really short wheelbase for 800hp. snap-oversteer may be a big problem.
