Yes. In this picture its still orange, but I’ve got a shot after the break which will snap your car-loving heart in two. Following that image, I’ve got all of the specs for the models they will be offering. First question’s answer: Yes. It is coming Stateside, and soon. Second question’s answer: Base models will start at £30,000, which is about US$44,400. Not bad at all, considering, but you’ll see in the drivetrain section in the specs. My PR contact sent me a bevy of details, so here goes.

Zolfe’s test car has been running for thousands of miles and is still receiving tweaks. In the meantime they are preparing their first batch of Orange GTC4′s is almost ready to roll, including the first two US-bound cars following later this month. The first US road test will go to Evo Magazine. Now to the meat…

Here’s that image I promised you:

More details for the US market can be found at the official US site for Zolfe. I’m pleased as punch to see that a dealership will be opening in Santa Monica. Yowsa! Now we just need to fix this damned economy and get people back into jobs so people can buy these things. Damn, I hope they’re good.
