Read the review on the T25 tonight when I got back from work.
I really, really want a T25. Looks awsome, especially with the Porsche Brakes, and those Enkei Alloys, but again at over £43k (with brakes/alloys) it is quite hard to justify. A lottery win, or a decent amount at least would soon have a T25 sitting outside my property.

Those are impressive figures arn't they.
With a chassis as well I would expect you can comfortably use all of it too.
Great that some move the game forward.
Expensive? maybe not when you add it all up, AND apportion the development costs/profit a company needs to accrue.

If I could afford it I would go for one.....
£43k is alot of money, but it is not unjustified for what that car is. Remember the FQ400 (the closest car I can think to the T25) used to have an asking price of £47k, and the new T25 looks like a more complete/better package.

I was thinking about getting one of these at one point but the projected 40k price tag put me off a bit, particularly once you think about some of the extras you would want, leather, uprated brakes and alloys etc. I think I'll wait until one becomes available second hand.
I did notice that you can get an engine transplant by powerstation with the 2.5l Subaru/Cosworth powerplant for around £11k IIRC. Perhaps if you got an STI a few years old, had the engine transplant and a type 25 handling package done you might be able to get nearly the same car for under £30k
