I want one. I cant believe how fast that thing is.
That thing is wicked!!!!! 0-60 in 2.9seconds. Performed better on the track than a Carrera GT only 2nd to the Enzo, all for £29,000 (approx. $52,413)
Having ridden street bikes for years I can imagine what that woule feel like, but only dream of having one
bloodly 'ell mate, brillant.... Did you see that guys face!!!!! :-X
No special effects needed. :drive.gif
Me and chuck were laughing hard at that guys face trying to peal off. That car is sick fast.
I don't know much thats faster even as far as bikes go. I remember when the v-max came out there was a test done that put 0-60 around 2.5 sec and the quadraduce I think is like 2.9. But as far as weight to bhp this thing is uncomparable to much other then a formula 1 car.
Lets all pitch in an buy one ;D jk.
:Y I AM AN ALIEN ;) VERY NICE. Did Gordan Say that this thing is powered by a Honda Civic Type R engine? :o
yeah i saw that when it was on top gear, thats awesome.

Dude thats part of the beauty and amazing capabilities of this light weight high out put, high bhp Road Rocket for rich kids. If it had a SBC or ford it would be like a Boss Hoss 502 cid Trying to keep with a Busa with a turbo. This thing hits it on ALL points. Handling to straight line blitzing,skin pealing g force, yeah I know allot was cause of no wind screen but still like he said there is NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT ON EARTH. I am beside myself in love with this thing. Wonder if they would make me one with hand controls, ;D
