Exclamation Caparo T1

This thing is, just... wow...

A power to weight ratio double that of the Bugatti Veyron, and enough downforce to drive it upside down in a tunnel at 150mph...

Can corner and brake at over 3G!!!
Can hit 60 in under 2.5s
A supercharged 2.4l V8 making 500hp (@10,500rpm )
6 speed sequential gearbox
Engineered by the guys that did the McLaren F1 road car.
Carbon Fibre chassis
It is expected to lap the Nurburgring in 6min something (the current record is a bit over 7min, and a Ferrari Enzo can't even crack 7min 30sec)


Got to hand it to the British, when they do something, they don't do it by half...

HOLY CRAP! 2.4L V8? impressive. its a definate small motor, but big power, I'm not crazy about the looks but I'll take one if it handles like it was glued to the road.
