new dream car

[WDoherty]

Ok gents, this one wins my attention by far, way far. Let's see; a little over 2lbs per hp or 480hp on 1,025 pounds, corners over 3g's! and revs 10k+, sorry supercars you don't even come close.

this is what happens when the renualt f1 car and the ferrari enzo decide to go in vitro with mercedes benz mclaren SLR engineers. 2.4L v8 going 30 mpg...wow

i like it....i want.....

It even drives upside down at 150 mph, at last a car designed for Australian conditions.

i love that car....

 

[WDoherty]

it kinda ruins it for ever other car, i wished i'd never seen it, there's nothing close.

It only seats one person from the looks of it, and the article doesn't list the track times, 0-60mph times...I am sure it is faster then fast. I don't know about this car being an every day driver....

 

[WDoherty]

definately not a dd, however it does seat a passenger, directly behind, like a fighter jet cockpit.

Hahahahaa. I'm at work and I had to let out a huge laugh from this one.... Keep it entertaining why dontcha :tongue2:

In the US this car would never be a daily driver. It won't be street legal here as said by the maker of the car. Streetfire had a video of them at the 06 SEMA show.

i think the next best thing to this would be a lotus exige, its affordable (we'll relatively, maybe 40,000 for a slightly used one) budget 10K for a decent turbo system and the thing would be hard to catch on a track. i have even heard of editors saying that the exige is even in another class of handling compared to a 911.
