The Saker GT was designed in New Zealand as an endurance race car. A Dutch company bought the rites to productionise it and used the car for a one marque class in the Dutch GT championship.

Steve Vince of Dragon Autosports (The MR2 Challenge originator) signed a deal to import the cars to the UK. Although primarily for endurance racing the car can effectively be used for sprint racing or as a track day toy, or road car!
