Yep, seen them.
Another Kiwi built car.
There are several in road trim here and also some race ones. Very nice. Built by Bruce Turnbull who has been around motoracing for at least 30 years.
There are profiles on half a dozen various spec Sakers in our club here Other Cars
And here's some impressions in club article comparing it with a club replica Stratos. Stratos vs Saker
Asyou can see many different power plants from Holden V6, Lexus V8, Subarus, whatever you want to fit.

Strangley enough the Saker is actually manufactured here in Detroit....and the owners of the factory came to us to see if we would get involved with them.....so there Mr. Mac put that in your NZ pipe and smoke it..... 
Its a cool little car but not at all streetable in the guise shown....its a bugger to get in and out of too....cool all the same.

Not even RCR's!
We do seem to have a fairly high population of Sakers running around though. How many RCR's have you sent out to these shaky isles?
On a more important note, please don't encourage Jac to smoke, we're still trying to ween him off the woolly lawnmowers.   We don't need to have to deal with yet another vice. 
Cheers,

Fran, do you know that all the sheep in New Zealand are called Artie?
Thats why the Haka starts with "Come Artie, Come Artie". YouTube - Haka - Maori dance.
