These are remarkably well balanced cars for many reasons, but a major one is that the dry-sump V8 engine is mounted low and mostly rearward of the front axle line. This helps the car maintain a lower center of gravity without compromising ground clearance, and creates overall better balance. The defeated exhaust baffles allow this car to produce a menacing yet tuned exhaust note throughout the rev range. The chassis is aluminum which helps it maintain a reasonable weight without having a sparse interior. The Midnight Blue exterior is paired with Raven Black, Obsidian Black, Caspian Blue, Cream Truffle, and Ivory interior elements. The overall result is a stylish and capable British sports car with timeless lines.
