No wonder izso say buy Vios instead. #becauseracecar

So 90k, you get to keep the car as well? Frankly speaking it is quite affordable. But is the car road legal? After the race #racecaronroad

Oh yeah, it does seem heavily subsidised as well

There's only 1 more unit left today so hurry up

Yeah you keep the car on your own, circuit to garage transportation is also your own responsibility and the Vios race car is strictly off road only like a try race car

Is the excise duty and relevant taxes paid? If yes it can be registered. But I don't think so. If it can be converted back to a road car-- remove the cage, then it's an amazing deal.

yes, that is possible and is sort of a feature of this package actually
wait... so for 90k.... assuming you paid roadtax, insurance and took the cage off, the car can go on the road?? if so, this is a rather good deal!
