While I wouldn't turn one down if I had the $$$, the T50's rear end just doesn't look right. The center piece on the rear fascia kinda reminds me of a baboon's prolapsed anus

It's a tribute to Gordon's BT46

I remember that machine, but still doesn't look right on the T50.

Found this article, states 106 built, 64 were street legal, only 7 sold in USA.
IIRC, Ralph Lauren bought one, US would not certify for road driving as McLaren would not submit for crash testing.
Lauren drove it around his estate, always with ear muffs, as said it was loudest car he owned.

These Hyper cars are great and all and I dig them but since I'll never be able to afford one I really just look past them. I try to concentrate on my reality which is I can only afford cars under 50K.

It's hard to find anything new under 50K these days, it seems.

I haven't bought a new car in years. I always buy used when I'm in need of a new ride. Let the suckers take the depreciation and I'll have a nice, low mileage car that has more bells and whistles on it than if I bought the same model new as I can usually go up one or two trim levels buying used.
