I have purchased two vehicles from Autosport. An Aston and a Range Rover. They generally have high quality vehicles. Be very cautious of their administrative handling of your purchase. If you are purchasing from a distance, my advice would be just don't. It's not worth dealing with their lackadaisical approach in doing business for vehicles purchased on the high end of the market. Not sure if it is their staff or leadership, but I will not be back.

I recently bought a vehicle from Autosport Design. I specifically dealt with their sales representative Brandon Simon. Brandon was very up front and accomadating from the first initial contact I made with him over the car I was interested in. As I couldn't get to see the car myself I arranged for an independent inspection which Brandon wholeheartedly encouraged. The inspection identified a couple of minor issues.

The issues found were never going to be a deal breaker for me, I would have been happy to take the car as is, but Brandon insisted on rectifying the problems before he would release the car. I have now received the car and it is everything that both the website and Brandon described the car to be. Completely delighted in my investment. From my experience I feel this is a very honest and trustworthy company to deal with. I would not hesitate to buy another vehicle from them should that situation ever arise, nor would I hesitate to recommend them to anybody looking to buy from their quite incredible inventory.

Just 2 let you know this is not in Toyota shop you working. Will recommend you place as. Thank you.

Lotus Evora GT.OMG what a car! Is it possible to squeeze 416 hp out of a 3104 LB car? the answer is YES! a six-speed automatic transmission and the torque grows to 332 lb-ft with zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and the top speed of 174 mph. Enough spec., this is one fun ride. This vehicle had all the bells & a few whistles. Alpine sound system, Carbon fiber package and specialty tuned exhaust were all options from the dealer.

I drove it in "Sport" mode for most of the time which gave it higher RPM's and a sweet sound even standing still. Go with "race" mode and hold on for dear life! I've driven several Evora's in the past and they were just OK. This, my friends is an entirely different car. Looks Great, drive fantastic, cost was well worth it and time I spend driving with my son.priceless. Thank you Tom for a great car and remarkable service from Autosport Designs. Wasn't my first car from them and will surely not be my last.

Just bought a 2020 Evora GT from Autosport Designs. As an owner of an original GT40 I can tell you the driving experience is very comparable (the Evora has better brakes and mirrors, the GT40 better sound and acceleration). As a collector, it's joyful to have a new car that has all of the modern amenities, needs nothing, and yet is as rare as my other cars. Furthermore, it is one of a only handful of new cars available with a manual transmission. It is refreshingly analog for this day and age and an absolute delight to drive. The team of Tom, Antoine, and Laura made acquisition seamless. Highly recommend!
