GTM - Manufacturers of Unspoilt Sports Cars

"Clearly the GTM Libra is a fast, exhilarating, well-built, comfortable, good-looking package"

EVO Magazine November 2004

"The GTM Libra should get an award for putting the biggest smile on my face - out of the corners the mid engined layout comes into its own"

Track and Race Cars August 2004

"The superbly styled GTM Libra is a strongly focused, high performance road car with strong hints of racer to be found in its detailing."

"We've driven a lot of fast cars, and this is the sort of performance that instantly takes the Libra out of the realms of a quick road car and places it firmly in the box marked adults only. It sits along side other sinners such as the Dax Rush Cosworth, GD 427 and the Ulitima GTR. A GTM Libra in this crowd? Believe it, because this is one very serious motor car. It takes the GTM Libra into a completely different category where words such as pretty, fast and fun become evil, brutal and awesome"

Which Kit? Magazine, April 2001 (Referring to Libra V6)

"The Libra is genuinely fun to drive, with a reasonably supple ride that dispatches the average pockmarked British B-road with disdainful alacrity.... A lightweight British sports car that goes, stops and steers well, boasts a Formula One style composite tub chassis, mid-mounted engine and fully adjustable independent suspension, and that costs around £18,000 for a factory-built item, should surely deserve to be a sales winner."

The Times, July 2000

"The Libra looks just as a mid-engined two seater should, fast, aggressive and nimble. The simple but sporty interior has a quality of fit and finish well up to Lotus Elise standards, it's also roomier and features better all-round visibility. Driving the Libra at speed is a delight, it's relaxed but agile, and without being physically taxing, allows you to go hard and fast"

Autocar Magazine, May 2000

"Weighing in at just over 700kgs, the Libra makes every one of the Rovers 118bhp count, giving a 0-60 time for the 1.8-litre model which is almost identical to the Elise's 5.5 seconds. It's an exhilarating drive, with 16" alloys and fat Goodyear Eagle F1 rubber endowing the Libra with limpet like grip through the bends. Pushing on it remains utterly composed and more than happy to spend hours at autobahn busting speeds. Indeed it is the all round capability of the car that surprised, being just as happy to potter around town, sit in traffic or blast down your favourite B- road"

Motoring & Leisure Magazine, March 2000

"The suspension absorbs humps and bumps with confidence and without unsettling the car. On faster smoother roads the ride certainly is exceptional, maintaining excellent control despite production car levels of comfort. Having found some excellent roads on which to give the little Libra a thorough going over there can be no question that this is a great fun car. Not only that, but it looks fabulous, has terrific interior detailing and makes you feel special when you get into it and drive through town. At the end of the day we loved it"
