"240bhp 2.0litre turbocharged Duratec" that's where the article lost my attention. But as to the car itself, the fiberglass makes it look as if it's constructed of plastic, and like afterace2 said, it looks like an R8/porsche/mr2

Yep, this is a sleeper. Time to go back to the Lotus Showroom.

It might not be the most innovative design, but it's still good looking. 0-60 is under 5 seconds is quick for 240BHP. Sure, fiberglass might not be the most advanced material, but at least it's light. Better than driving a fat Renaultsport Clio. In my opinion it's a perfect medium level sports car, cheap to run, cheap to insure and most of all, cheap to repair the dents and bruises due to lack of driving skill.

I can see why the article said "Mexico has no tradition of sophisticated sports car manufacture" because this offering certainly doesn't measure up to my expectation of that description ... we can only hope that it never becomes an export item lol

I'm not sure why there is so much hate over this. Mexico is trying to enter an industry they have no history in, and instead of words of encouragement, all I see are giggles and scorn. Mexico and Mastretta, I say well done lads. I hope you go very far with this and other future projects.
