2007 Marcos TSO GTC vs. Dodge Challenger & looks like FIREPOWER"S sister !

At first glance, This British made 2007 Marcos TSO GTC looks errily similar to the Chrysler Firepower ,possibly being made with the same model year: almost scary-like ! ! I just wonder if this ' Brit " got ahold of some of the Firepower's spyshots ? Also, this appears to be able to duel a Dodge Challenger that's coming out [although I see no info as to this vehicle's weight] ; maybe not and hopefully not even the SRT8 . That's to be determined at some future date ,unless none are imported ? To read/see more of this ' beauty ' ,here's a link ! http://www.supercars.net/cars/3526.html ..Here's a tad more info ,so as to not leave this :
London, England, July 11th, 2006-Marcos Engineering UK today announced the world premier of its new TSO Supercars at London's exclusive Salon Prive private Luxury and Supercar Show.

The TSO GTC is a classic British race-inspired 2-seat sports coupe that comes with racing suspension, racing brakes and a rear diffuser. The GTC is priced at 49,950 GBP.

The TSO R/T delivers a thrilling open top driving experience with dual removable roof panels - combining a roadster experience with the safety, confidence and styling of the coupe. The R/T comes equipped with touring suspension, cargo nets and premium sound and is priced at 53,950 GBP.

Both models come standard with a 420 horsepower Aluminium V8 Engine and a 6-speed manual gearbox. A 462 horsepower Performance Pack is also available. TSO's are being delivered this summer to the Marcos Dealer Network.

''The TSO's combination of tuned V8 power and lightweight design delivers both stunning performance and breathtaking sound in a reliable, precision Engineered and affordable British Supercar'', said Tony Stelliga, Marcos Engineering's Managing Director.

The TSO is professionally Engineered. Composites and components are CAD designed and fabricated in England. The Chassis is Engineered and manufactured by Prodrive - a leading developer of motorsport chassis and race cars that have earned five British Touring Car Championships and six World Rally titles. Designed to be lightweight and responsive, the TSO inspires confidence and is communicative up to and beyond the limit.

The TSO is reliable - with the same proven V8 Engine and drivetrain components found in the Corvette and Monaro. Induction, exhaust and electronics modifications by Marcos further enhance the TSO’s drivability and performance.

The TSO is a performer - a lightweight composite body, space frame chassis and V8 engine provide an impressive power-to-weight ratio. With the Performance Pack the TSO accelerates to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and to 100 mph in 8.5 seconds. Huge 340mm AP Racing brakes deliver a 0-100-0 time of 12.9 seconds. Overtaking is effortless with a 50 to 70 mph time of just 2.1 seconds. Top speed is over 185 mph.

Marcos Engineering is a based in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England - the heart of the British Motorsport Industry. This year the Company celebrates its 47th anniversary of building exclusive, fun to drive, high performance British sports cars.

...Pretty sure that "she" used to be a "he!" oh, and that Brittish thingy is a "sports car." a completely different class than the Chally would compete in.
