Yea those little things are sweet. They did a piece about them on Top Gear a while back. The guy that did the piece said that they accelerated and cornered unlike anything else he'd ever felt, bar none. That's pretty impressive coming from a guy who's driven probably every exotic sports car on earth.

I saw that episode. It accelerated so fast it disfigured his face. It was awesome!! You could see his skin moving back on his face. :drive1:

456 kilos is like 1000 pounds. I can't imagine how cool it would be to rip it up with four wheels and only 1000 lbs.

I want one of these when I grow up.

The race car version would be sick to have. It kinda looks like a indy car. But it would probly be way to hard to get one over here.

I meant to say it was second fastest on the track to the enzo. by less than 1 second.

Not too shabby for a car at less than 1/10th the price.

A "C" or "D" sports racer would be a lot of fun as well. Not as much hp, but with tons of downforce you can pretty much drive them like a complete jacka$$ without too much risk of putting it in the ditch.
