At the video, owners take possession of their new cars at the El Toro Air Station in Irvine earlier this year. Saddleback Mountain can be seen at just after 1:00 minute at the clip.

$250,000 plus options for a car with the interior room of an old MGB. The driver foot well emulates the tiny Lotus Elise in that you can't put both feet directly in front of you but must move your left foot over 3 to 6 inches at all times. Your right knee will have to be welded to the center console since there's no room on that side as well. If you're going to drive it someplace more than say 50 miles away I would recommend getting out every hour or so you can get your spine re-aligned - or maybe be shorter than 5'6" and big into yoga.
For track driving, don't be taller than 5'11" because you'll have to tilt the seat pretty far back to have enough headroom while wearing a helmet. And of course, unless you're a professional race driver, you'll never drive the car anywhere near as fast as it was designed to go. That's not to mention that even driving it as fast as you are capable of will get you arrested, jailed and the car confiscated in most countries besides Germany.
On the upside, you'll impress a lot of girls - as a jerk who needs a fast car to pick up women. It will also look great on the road - except when you're driving it everybody ELSE will get to see the beautiful car and you won't because you're stuck inside the tiny cockpit wishing you had taken the Mustang GT.
