Although on the face of it hearing "no new cars" is disappointing, not to mention the jobs going he does seem like he's got his head screwed on !

[Andy G]

new derivatives of the current models in the next 2 years though - 311 here we come

Mmmh, I was hoping for more after the Dealer meeting at Hethel and spy shots of a 'disguised ' Evora and 3 Exiges testing at the Nurburgring I'm not even sure if a 3-11 would be on the cards Andy as it says variations of current models and the 2-11 hasn't been part of the line up for a few years now. Still I guess sales are up and costs are being trimmed so at least it's being run professionally.

3-11 would be a variation of the current Exige S.

Only car I'd consider swapping my 2-11 for...
edited to add: The design brief I gave him at Hethel whilst on Spaz was:
Exige S Cup
- Windscreen, doors etc = 950kg
+ a bit more power? = 400hp
+ proper aero package

Although I'd be very interested in an 'Evora R Roadster' to go with it.

"back to basics", "add lightness", "all three models faster, lighter, stiffer and more ergonomically satisfying."

Love it.........
