True a new GTR will be over £100,000. The price point Nissan is using these days it wont be any lower than that especially for a new platform. Well they will keep selling them globally so up to people if they want it or not. 

 

Ill always be a fan of both Z and GTR. As you said there are now track EVs on the horizon and 75k gets you a v10 R8 with similar maintenance or McLaren 540 etc . 

 

Xiaomi owned SC01 coming to Europe, Longbow, Caterham are all working on track focused adjustable EVs. The Xiaomi SC01 Stratos lookalike started as a pipe dream of a young man. Now its set to come with international orders from all over the world. Fully adjustable suspension and set up it weighs only 1360 kg with tubular frame chassis. Very fast and lightweight. 429hp 2.9 seconds. It already looks better than anything Caterham or Longbow can offer and will undercut both in price. The car comes with engine mounts with space for a K20 engine lol

 

MG Cyberster weighs 2000kg but was engineered by a Ferrari engineer so can take a corner within reason. The next generation aims to cut the weight to 1700kg in coupe format. Alpine have a 1400kg car. Longbow have a 1000 kg car. Caterham 1200kg or so. Also faster charging is coming. 

 

I do like the MG and have driven 2. Aftermarket suspension from KW released this month. Wheels are available from Italy and Germany. ill probably end up getting that. £5 charge at home per week £200 tax. Comfortable, quick enough to beat a lambo off the line and lose a license. When im bored of that ill probably get a F Type v8 or settle on a GR86 imported for 17k lol. I guess the GTR hype died long time ago. Never driven one 😂. Most have been ragged by local BMW boys. AMG GT, Vantage V8 2018 all appeal more. GTR is an itch that doesn't need to be scratched for me. Too many other options.

At 2 tonnes the Cyberster is a joke.  There are 2 brand new in the local MG near me, they've been there for best part of a year and no one is buying.  Before it started selling Chinese crap it was a quality used lot and it was packed every time I drove past, and always had transporters bringing new stock. I barely see anyone in there now.  For Cyberster money you can have a R8, GTR, or Boxster, TVR, TR6 on the drive and keep the change.
