Yep. Neil posted it on NZPC and I suggested it would be hot property on PH

Also hoping it can be displayed at the A1 GP

Wow, Batman's weekend car. Looks very tidy.

[Omerta]

Bloody hell! The things that get built in sheds eh...

[SimJen]

great looking car, not so sure about the windscreen, little caterham-like aeroscreens would be better IMO
beautiful v8 too, im looking forward to seeing it in action!

A CanAm aerolip is cool but when you've been hit in the face by as much gravel, git and rubber as I have . . .

The worst thing to follow around the track is a Lotus with a rear diffuser !!!

Sorry!

[Kiwi Carguy]

Yeah I can see the attraction with low or no screens LOL



I love the look of the DSN 390 too but agree the screen looks slightly odd? Needs a better name too IMO from a marketing perspective.

Got to say most of the home build stuff I've seen over the years is hideously ugly. But this is right up there with mainstream manufacturer's.

How about this bad boy, $1.5 million spent developing it.

Someone always needs to take an invigorating but otherwise harmless car porn thread and turn it into a snuff movie

Looks fanastic and beautifully engineered - but where do the lights go?

I believe that's the track version. Road version still to come

Will be a cracker too no doubt!

It does look great but I'd personally choose a GT3 over this at $175k but thats just me Thats a lot of coin for a track only car...

I agree it looks like batmans weekend car or perhaps Robin's.

Pretty cool though.

I'd be looking at a Juno, Norma or Ultima. GT3s are just too common

[GravelBen]

That certainly is a lot of money...





Wonder how much just for the engine/drivetrain...





And how funny it would be in a standard-looking MX5, just for novelty sleeper value...

Looks great other than the windscreen.

Id put a token one on a couple of inches high and wear a motorbike helmet on a track version. Maybe on a road version could justify a higher windscreen so you could get away with only sunglasses alot of the time but still lower than the current one.

Looks like quite a weapon though
