@@privateprivate1865 Simplicity? EVs beat ICE engine to market before ICE because they WERE simple. Engines have HUNDREDS of parts and about 70% of all that energy is LOST to heat and only a fraction goes to motivation. An electric motor has 3 basic parts and is way over 90% efficient - that is 90%+ of the power goes to the wheels immediately no waiting for a dumb engine to feel like motivating at a tiny bandwidth before it's useless again. - there's your simplicity - no WAY an ICE engine is simple compared to an EV. And if your act is together the "fuel" is free for life. I'm guessing you never took a ride in a Model S. EVs might not be for everyone but those people are going to die off real soon.🚀

I've seen their prototype, it has headlights hidden behind the grille, not these out of place things in plain sight.

That doesn't fit with the idea of the car. It's a modern version of the classic Troy Roadster and, even though it would look beautiful, independent throttle bodies aren't modern. You'd also probably have to cut holes in the hood to fit them, like the original did.

Like the styling .... but I'd personally have narrower tyres and the Alfa V6 engine !

Would like to have something similar, on skinnies, with slightly modernized (read: "dependable") version of the Maserati 3L or Alfa 2300 supercharged straight 8.

Im an Alfa idiot, but for an indy roadster sort of like this a v8 is a must imo. Stratos replica is the perfect build to chuck a Busso in.

@@delahayenator You may have a point ... the LS engine isn't that much heavier ... I'm probably thinking too much of it as a US version of Lotus 7 and *not* what it really is - a V8 powered Indy car !

That’s the nicest go cart / roadster, I’ve ever seen. Except for the LS motor. I think, it’s the equivalent to Nickelback. Everyone liked them, but they’re sick of always hearing them played on every radio station.

When first saw it I thought of the BRM V16, then a 1950s Indy car. Either - or both! It's a great looking car, but does the job too. So well thought out and so well built. I looked up the original Wally Troy roadster and it shows what modern scanning can do. This is a true homage to the original car, but with modern mechanicals. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Gorgeous car. Feels pricey, but only the 1% can afford toys like this and $200k is nothing to them. So, better to price it for them than making it a bit more reachable for a demographic that doesn’t exit.

I’m a newish member of the Jay Leno car club! Many years ago whilst just coming off air at QVC US I walked passed this amazing car that had arrived outside the garage set, then Mr Leno arrived in the studio, he was friendly to all, a real gentleman. Unfortunately our paths never crossed at QVC UK. Anyways, Ive always been a petrol head, my first car was a 1949 Daimler DB18 that I pulled out of a junk yard, and this was my daily driver from the age of 17. In 2014 I found advertised on eBay the very car that started my love of vintage and classic vehicles, she is a 1934 Rolls Royce 20/25 long wheelbase with a HJ Mulliner body, originally ordered for a Edinburgh based industrialist who kept her for two years, then she moved around Scotland before the outbreak of WW2. In the 1950s through to the 1980s she was owned by a company called Kingsbury Motors based in London, and they supplied cars to the film and TV industry, supplying vehicles for such iconic programmes as The Avengers and Dr Who to name just two. Our Rolls Royce was used in many iconic British TV programmes such as Dads Army, and the main car in To The Manor Born, and films such as the Secret Ceremony with Mia Farrow and Elizabeth Taylor. The car was in shocking condition after spending 16 years as a wedding car, so I took time out from QVC to bring her back from the brink, and she was working really well. But then I was struck with some mental heath issues and the car has sat in the garage for 4 years and I’d really lost confidence in my ability to drive or maintain her. Then I found this channel, and I’m not sure if Mr Leno reads the comments, but if he does I’d just like to thank him, as his enthusiasm has re lit the spark in me to be able to lift a spanner and get cracking again. Thank you Mr Leno, your a ability to lift the spirit is an amazing gift, and you use it well.

I thought $200K was a ton of money for it until he showed the engine bay. The thing has show car fit, finish, attention to detail and might even be underpriced.
