I like that, I wonder how much weight they will manage to take out. If it's significant then it's going to make a great car an amazing one

The info there is very different from the spec and price I have been quoted apart from the 10 units a month build quota.
Im seriously thinking of pulling my SpecV order and just buying a premium and modding that.
