Got the chance to drive this last week through the county of Sussex for a wedding. Absolute cunt to get in and out of but loved every minute of it. the sound of the engine and the acceleration has definitively motivated me to earn money for a car like this in the future.

Would love one of these.

Based on Forza it must be the best handling car ever!

I was saving for one but have been talked into getting a house instead!! Just makes sense to buy a house while the prices are down, plus i rarely ever drive the DC5 so it would be such a waste tbh

Exige S in white is my dream car, i love them but really wouldnt be a sensible option getting one instead of a house

Then I agree, that and the Lotus are the two best handiling cars in the game!

its was £200 a day, which gave me 125 miles and £1 per mile over.

also a £2500 deposit was needed. I rented it through a mate, obviously having to be over 25 to rent.....

im 20.

would love a yellow one, customer has one, not as fast as everyone thinks, but still rapid, and the handling more then makes up for it
