When they thought to restore it, did they not think to pick a slightly more neutral pigment to appeal more to the masses?
And check out the micro stereo system!

Yep.
So...
But but but but...
WTF?!
I know it's iconic, but that is mad! It was regarded as extremely fast, but incredibly fragile. Really worth Ferrari money???

Although scratch that again... For half the price of that R5 turbo, you could have a Lotus Carlton.
Absolutely no contest for me there.

LOL, I once knew someone who had a R5 Turbo in the 90s and it was 'stolen' and set on fire.... bet he wishes that hadn't happened now!
