Of course, this latter told the new “investors” really believe in the business plan and all (what business plan? The Deauville as been sold to China, and there’s no Pantera for all we know; at most a prototype a decade old that has been seen driven out of Pinifarina’s plant for about 100m, which doesn’t mean the slightest thing until proven otherwise). Meanwhile, employees are still unpaid. Sure doesn’t look like a financial montage to harvest public funds, or even possibly for money-laundering eh?

I love the icon De Tomaso was and still is, and would love a 21st century Pantera to see the day, but come on: all this is a scam, plainly and clearly (and sadly, yes).

And those torque numbers? Not even the new Lamborghini Aventador has that much, and it’s a supercar with an all new developed V12.

Hyundai Veloster Coupe Read review**

FOR: The Veloster is cheaper than most of its rivals, and its distinctive looks will appeal to some people.

AGAINST: The ride is firm, the steering is remote and there isn’t much room in the back. Refinement is also POOR and you need to thrash the engine to make decent progress.

What a Disaster – 2 stars for the flagship coupe

Already my local Hyundai dealer has knocked off £1500 of list price.

What a crap car, a sports car with a under-performing engine, a 4 door car with a door missing.

A family car with no space for a family.

A price tag that can get you a BMW 1 series entry level .

This car will be an utter disaster for Hyundai

Overpriced under-performing and missing a door is not going to entice any sane Hyundai buyer.
