that's waht I said,
build an LMP, 've been told there's a coupe version comming along,
otherwise a Aeon GT or blaze (former pell gennesis)
would still do the LMP without questions, one could faily easily make a roof section for that car.

I like the Turner LMP a lot; the styling, as well as the engineering. But Koen indeed wants a roof, and somewhat "daily practicality".
I'm not too sure a LMP style car can deliver this.
But then again; Koen, take the LMP. It's soooooo nice......

I did do a 'roofed' LMP design (called the GT - very original!) for a guy who was looking to invest in the company. Still toying with the
idea of producing it, though...

That is VERY nice IMO...... make it a removable roof and I recon that could be a Big winner.

Can't help thinking that looks very like the ultima......
now if you're hoping to steal business that has to be a good thing. If you're not, perhaps it isn't.

Steve,
Irrespective of the Ultima comparisons, that is beautiful. The proportions look very nice. Personally I'd want a big wing on the back (no
accounting for taste, eh?) but I guess that would be easy to do 
Cheers

NAY! There's no doubt that the Ultima is a brilliant car, but the fender lines (front and rear of the Turner LMP are significantly different.
IMHO the sharp edges of the LMP are even more beautiful than the soft edges of the Ultima.
And do they really share the same market? I would buy a Turner LMP in a millisecond if I had the money (gimme that ZX12r) , but don't feel the
same about the Ultima.
Look at the Ultima,
OK, I'd buy an Ultima too...

hmm its difficult to say , i think the LMP has defintely got an edge styling wise .
the ultima is getting dated ( did i say that) , it looks nice , but has done for the past 10 years .
i prefer the edgey look , its far more aggressive .
i dont think ultimas customer base would change much even if steve did make the coupe version .

I'd agree that it won't compete directly with an Ultima (although there is definatelly a market for an Ultima alternative as currently
there isn't one in the UK)
For a start they are in different price brakets and the Ultima has a heady V8 with huge BHP potential.
I'd still say that design could be a winner, I do know that the closed top Ultima GTR is a much bigger seller than the open top Ultima Canam
(which is a genuine convertible and better looking IMO)....... so it could well open up a whole new market.

Complete with V6 too!
But not exactly as Aeon intended as it has been extensively modified (cosmetically) from the original design
