The new box shall be cheaper than the existing SADEV option.

Here would be my guesses.
Sequential box - no idea, but its gotta be £10k :(
Big brakes F+R £2.8k total.
Ohlins £6k
Carbon Dash £300
Non-standard chassis paint £1.3k
So thats ~£20k of options reg! :'(

Tell me more about the exhaust! ;)
That's my guess as well, roughly what I am budgeting. I have the original build list on mine and it came to £64K then I added the Tilletts so we could say £68K or so for a 3.5 310, no wings etc. Bearing in mind the base was 'from £38K', sobering stuff. Only a few days now :)

The exhaust, it's going to be loud sometimes, not so loud other times, look trick, weigh sod all and release some power >:D I'll need a kind individual to model it as my build slot is way off ;)

I wonder if they will use a manual sequential shift rather than the pneumatically operated one, that would certainly keep costs down?

It needs to be a pneumatically operated shifter otherwise it will be a little bit disappointing. A manual one like in the Caterham 620r defeats the purpose of a sequential gearbox somewhat.

Can't wait for the list!!

I didn't mind the manual sequential in the 620R, needed a bit of a push/pull but was good in feel and happily crashed up and down.

For me i like the challenge of the H pattern at speed on track. Plus i could not justify something which is probably going to be a VERY expensive addition to the spec. I guess if its under £10k i need to try it out myself, but i'd struggle to justify it.

Fingers crossed we might see some prices today. "Somerset time" does seems to drag....

It's not "Easter" yet !

Also, there's a likely delay between having the final cut and getting their web guys to publish them on the web site.

350 BHP is more like it! :tu: 8)

Shame its circa £2.5K for a remap. :'(

I wonder what the stock exhaust (for track noise), £100 decat pipe and bespoke map at a Honda tuner would cost...

I believe you'd need to email Ariel.
