Prices start at 17.4 million Boat for the 585-horsepower GT R, dubbed “Best of Green Hell” due to its outstanding performance at the Nurburgring, and 16.8 million Baht for the 558hp GT C, which comes with a convertible soft top. Both models have a twin-turbo V8 engine with a displacement of 4.0 litres and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
