Quote:
Of course, building a car from scratch isn’t easy – so that’s not what Breckland set out to do. Instead, they took the well-established Kappa platform of General Motors (think the Opel GT) and naturally put their own unique twist on it.
“Beira differs in many significant respects from the GM products however, the most radical departure being the installation of General Motors’ potent, 6.0-litre, LS2 V8 engine, more commonly found in Corvette and Pontiac GTO models. It replaces the four-cylinder Ecotec engine and, by comparison, produces more than twice the power of the original unit.
“We didn’t set out to reinvent the wheel with Beira,” says Rawlings. “The Kappa platform offers a highly competent chassis, which has been subject to intensive crash and safety tests, and is readily available.

If you really look at the overall shape of the back, at least from the side, it look alot like the Z4. But if it had the humps of the solstice then I would agree more. I do think they ripped off the sols tail lights.

sweet! that was a cool find... i've been waiting for the mystery poster to offer more info..
i'd LOVE a body kit like that but i'd need some panels from a sky.
Like the Solstice, it practically has no trunk space when the top is retracted. Yup it is conceptually inspired by the Solstice. This shows that good artists create and great artists steal.
Now I will have people asking me if I drive a Ferrari in the future.
