This will be one of the very few proper competitors to the next-gen Gallardo and F430 -- can anyone name any others? Because I can't really think of any -- well known mid-engined supercars around same price, speed etc? And I have huge expectations for this car, and something tells me it won't disappoint! =) And are those perforated carbon-ceramic brakes i see?

All they would have to do is build half the car they did in 1994 and sell it for 150,000$ and they would sell more than 4000 units/year. Hell even if they sold the exact same car with some minor technological upgrades, ceramic brakes, led headlights/tail lights and gps. I can see them selling over 4000 units if they priced it at around 300,000$. In the 90s the F1 was so expensive because it had the top of the top when it comes to technology, CF was never heard of before in the automotive industry, the engine was encased in gold better than the space shuttle thrusters. All that is cheaper now, i am sure they could remake the F1 for 300k and still make a decent profit. But that is my dream.

If they want to get 4000 annual sales, they better price it right. More option in the same price range is a good thing for the consumers I believe.
