I like this. Nearly as much as the K1 attack however I think this might be more within my price range but I still have to save my pennies.

I wonder if it was someone else's abandoed project rehashed???
Don't know about that Italo, but certain aspects such as the 'bonnet' scoop and concave roofline remind me of the Talon GTA that debuted at Stoneleigh a few years ago and then promptly sank without trace.
Pretty sure that was also produced by someone in the Rugby area, so this might be a development of that car.
Agree with you about some aspects of the styling. Back end looks strange.
Think 960kg not too bad with Duratec, which is fairly heavy. Lighter than Noble M10 was.
Well, its not exactly the same, but it bears a striking resemblence to the Mullen M-11 from the US:

Another car that looks ok from some angles, but overall, something is just wrong.

You nailed it!! that 's the car !!
We now know where it comes from, but the've done a few modifications for the European version, most notably the REAR!!!!!
Can't figure out which is better of the two versions!!
but the proportions of this car are..................... AWFUL!!!! what happened??
The chassis is really nice though.................could use it ............

Have managed to dig out leaflet on Talon GTA. Here's the dimensions: length 420cm, width 200cm, height 120cm, wheelbase 234cm track 166cm.
Apart from the wheelbase, they're exactly the same as the Avelle. Poxy little black and white photocopied pic also bears strong resemblance to both Avelle and Mullen.
Do now remember Talon's designer saying he'd originaly designed car for someone else and they'd fallen out so he'd done a modified version to produce himself.
Maybe all three cars have common origin.

I'm not one to make ill-considered comment, but having seen the photos in 'Which Kit?' this month I have to say that beauty-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder notwithstanding this is the ugliest car I have seen on the kit-car scene probably including anything Vindicator have ever done.
Four years in development???
cymtriks.....be warned.

It reminds me of one of those weird perspective caricatures you see at all the shows
I was thinking, and about to post, exactly the same thing. All it needs now is some weird camber and massively oversized wheels.
I think the term "Ugly" could be used with suitable adjectives in front of the word.
