An F1 Car That's Street-legal WTF

As nippy little run-arounds go, they don't come much nippier.
For this vehicle's resemblance to a racing car is no coincidence - the Caparo T1 does zero to 60mph in 2.5 seconds; but despite its appearance is in fact road-legal.
But with the top-end performance comes a price to match - this particular model, advertised by Stratton Motor Company in Norwich, will set its new owner back a cool £280,000.
Without doors or a windscreen it would appear perfectly at home on a racetrack. But the world's fastest supercar does make a nod to its potential city use - incorporating a passenger seat.

The vehicle for sale has covered just 1,242 miles and is fitted with a six-speed ‘flappy paddle’ gearbox and brakes which will stop the T1 from 100mph in three seconds.
There are just 16 models in the UK and only a dozen of these road registered with the remainder used as high-end track cars.

The 2008 British-built supercar is designed to keep weight down, with the two-seat vehicle weighing just 550kg.

This makes the Caparo T1 20 per cent lighter than a Smart car and, with a 575bhp V8, gives it twice the power-to-weight ratio as a Bugatti Veyron.

It will accelerate from 0-62mph in less than 2.5 seconds, hit 100mph in five seconds and rocket all the way past 200mph.

When Top Gear tested the model Jeremy Clarkson he described it as having 'acceleration like he had never, ever experienced'.

He added that because of its price-tag and difficulty to drive that there '“wouldn’t be a ditch in the land which isn’t full of footballers broken or on fire'.

But in the right hands it is a phenomenal machine with The Stig lapping the Top Gear track in just 1 minute 10 seconds - six seconds quicker than the 268mph Bugatti Veyron SuperSport.

Stratton Motor Company even insist on taking the new owner on an intensive two-day driving course on road and track so they can understand the car’s incredible capabilities.

Unless you're a car collector, I think owning this would be a waste of money and time. Where your girl gonna sit at?

it is a two seater, a very TIGHT two seater it looks like so if she's too thick that may be a prob

But I'd !! with a Pagani Zonda before I'd fux with this
