Crazy looking and must be crazy to ride in - can you imagine how fast it would feel?


You could buy a secondhand one for a very reasonable £31,950.00!!!

Looks like it's the small engine version. The big engine is a pair of Suzuki Hyabusa barrels and heads on a common crankcase making a V8 and 500hp. Rumour has it that there is a supercharged version in the pipeline!!

In the car park.....


I saw this prototype set up at the place where I get my stainless exhaust tube and bends. It was there to have exhaust manifolds and system fabricated.

Being low volume production, these car have to go through the IVA test, formally the SVA test. When I worked in Alton 10 years ago (doing all things SVA, we did testing there as well) these guys turned up with one of the first cars to be produced powered by a Ford CVH engine to be tested.
