@Simeon Walker no because they technically don’t have permission to build the car. Private customers have to donate a Pista in order to get the car built. In other words it’s not being supplied directly from the manufacturer.

@Simeon Walker the whole car looks like an overpriced ornament designed to take advantage of those with more money that taste. Others will buy the original product.

[@markonmotoring]

I will most likely never get to enjoy a bespoke vehicle like this one but it's fantastic to see another wonderful design from Touring. Having fallen out of live with modern cars in recent years I've often said there is no new car at any price point that could tempt me. If I had the means I think I'd would consider something from touring, be it one like this or one of there other designs. We seem to have become lost in a world of lap times and touch screen so it's refreshing to see a car that can be enjoyed just as much standing still as it can at speed. It's time we started bringing back road cars for the road rather than race cars for the road.
