It's designed for homologation racing, and it's not even coming to the US. The intent is for it to compete in the VLN Endurance Championship and the Nürburgring 24 Hours on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife[1].

You can look down your nose at it all you want, but so far, it's looking like a pretty stellar deal for someone looking to go racing. The price is extremely cheap for a homologation car at €59,500.00.
