That is an amazing car... I think the price tag was in the £70k range from initial reports?
If I win the lottery, that is top of my shopping list. More likely I will have one in 10 years

nitrogen filled tyres Thats going to be a pain when you want a little more air in them
Also, does it have NATS???
I only want one if it has one of those really cool NATS stickers in the window (Nissan Anti Theft System)
I just love seeing those on Micras. I can only help but agree that their designer was the best anti theft system in the world

Pressurized lubrication system
I should bloddy well hope it has a pressurised lubrication system, otherwise we'd be still driving derivatives of Ford's Model T; Which needs the bearings re-coated every few thousand miles as part of a routine service
I can see the pub bragging now: "Well, mine has a pressurised lubrication system". When a old gezzer in the background pipes up and says "So, my lawn mower has that as well"

Awesome car and I must say I love the direction they've take with the design.
But 1500Kg, 450bhp, and a 7:38 please, if that car isn't make nearer 600bhp I'm a monkeys uncle.
