How the heck did I miss this car!?

Oh my goodness, this was announced in 2017!?! Vapor and I Rip Van Winkled past this thing.

Based on some car called the Artega GT. I think Steve Salween was forced to use that design because his then Chinese backers owned the rights to the design.

Looks like a Supra

It looks just like the lotus emira, which isnt a bad thing but the headlights are really throwing me off.

It also reminds me of the 1999 Toyota Celica a little bit:

From what I was told, the original Saleen gave a lot of problems ... but at least it was a sexy beast!
This one is just ... meh ....

I figure this car is DOA? 2017 introduction, no press I can tell, and not sure there have been any updates. I wish them well. I always like the marketplace growing in options and it's an interesting option. But this seems to have been COVID'd.

I’ve seen only one Artega GT over spain in 2018, and never saw ones again. Are they still in business?

Steve Saleen had a display & spoke one evening a few months ago in Sacramento, CA.
