I got to sit in this car. The doors are a cinch to use, though I am tall I didn't have any problems in getting in and could easily reach the handle to pull them down. There is a truely massive bulkhead behind the seats, not sure how big the boot or fuel tank is, but the compromises that are put on the cabin because of this are huge. The seats just don't go back, or recline, enough. If you try to recline the seat so that you're comfortable the seat goes forwards, limiting legroom! It is ever so slightly less of a problem on the drivers side, but really isn't good enough.
Some of the materials used and the design details are just pitifull too. The plastics and faux-metals are very low-rent and the two transmission tunnel cubby holes are incredibly poorly designed in their operation and accessability.

And a totally unique 'PS' model

A special one-off edition of the Zonda F chassis with a C9 gearbox was produced and personalised for English businessman and car enthusiast Peter Saywell, the car has the exhausts re-arranged into an oval and bears his company logo on the rear.

What an incredible array of machinery.

Unlike you, I had a real problem reaching to close the SLS doors once in the cabin. At least I could get in and out without banging my head!

Awesome stuff. I note that David Yu's purple vinyl-wrapped GTR was there.

Great pics!

If it was a bit nearer I probably would have attended. Maybe next year.

Love that dark green (is it?) Integrale
