Dutch flier Dons a roof

07th March 2007

Launched at the Geneva Motor Show, the two-seater is the first-ever fixed-head car to be produced by the Dutch manufacturer.

With its carbon fibre roof, the newcomer's chassis is 25 per cent stiffer than the roadster's, while revisions to the rest of the body improve aerodynamics. Under the bonnet is a 1.8-litre Audi turbo available with 180, 210 or 270bhp. With a kerbweight of only 650kg, performance from all variants should be blistering. Only 50 cars a year are to be built, priced from £60,000.
