I believe these are being distributed in the US by Dyson Racing.

Cost? I looked at a Caterham 7 a couple years back, there's a dealer in Denver. With a Focus engine it was about $35-45K depending on options. IIRC they had a supercharged option for about $55K.

Prolly 2.5-3 mill, depending on options. Comes with floor mats and roadside assist.

I do not think its the ugliest - they just didn't try to hide it with a careful paint scheme.

There's actually more than one rule related to the noses, which is why you see a result that looks like two different noses on the same car. You have the small nose, attached to a larger nose, more or less.

****ing ugly. These cars get worse every year.

I think this is more of a result of them having basically zero $pon$or$hip than anything else.
