FWIW, £50k. A C6 is around £45k on the other side of the pond. It goes on the TG powerboard as basically the fastest attainable car (other than perhaps C6 Z06 if/when they test it). The cars above the Sagaris started with the Koenigsegg.

That has to be one of the ultimate non-poseur car. Loud, vibratory, pretty much no badge value to impress the neighbors. No stability control, no traction control, no ABS. And in the corners, it doesn't lapse into safe, factory-setup terminal understeer.

It makes quite the noise, too.
