Change of name at Phantom

Hi all, :ranger: Haven't been on here for such a long time and even longer since I checked out the Phantom site. I thought with the tie-up with Virago would curtail the kits side of things. Checking the site yesterday only to discover that the company is now Vortex and no longer Phantom and that there are not one but four versions now!
GTR = R827 original
GTD = Mondeo V6 Duratec
GT3 = the old G3 ST220 V6 Mondeo based limited edition
GTV = Volvo/Focus ST i5 !

Prices the same, better chassis and new options too - so still strong after what, more than 12 years? Still hankering for one..........one day, one day...........:biggrin:

Yep quite right, my car is the Volvo engined prototype and has been quite a success, quite a tight fit, but it goes, just.
350bhp and 6 speed box :D
