How it scores for you10 scores
An unfiltered 645-hp V10 track weapon that rewards skill and punishes comfort - buy it as an event, not transportation.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; none of its 3 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $5,350 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — among the most expensive cars we track to run.
14.65 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 80% of other coupes we track.
Two tight seats under a helmet-hugging roofline
645-hp 8.4L V10, manual only, massive grip and zero filters; one of the most visceral analog performance cars ever sold
8.4-in Uconnect and launch control aside, a bare-bones analog machine with no driver assists
Punishing ride, roaring cabin, and sills that cook your calves; demanding as a daily
Typical resale value for a coupe.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
