Must be fast, you need 6 headlamps to see where you are going!

Yes...two normal headlights and then one with hypersonic light, so you can still see where you are going when you have gone past the speed of light!
Right before you skid off the road and die in one mighty fireball

"whilst weighing only 90kg in full running gear"
Wow, obviously made of unobtainium, with 500bhp that's over 5000bhp/ton, now I think that's dangerous & should be banned!!!
Sorry, but £115,000 for a toy is almost as stupid as a Caparo
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

quote: power-to-weight ratio of over 1000bhp per tonne – more than double of a Bugatti Veyron.
at what, one tenth the price? A bargain but I doubt the top speed is anywhere near that of the veyron.
But the fact remains it looks, well, like a seven, a fifities hand cobbled home made car.
For that sort of money I'd want something pretty and exotic so I'll pass on that one.
Be interesting to see how long the engine lasts.
I bet it can leave some long rubber trails!

The motor is pretty robust. RS produced his first one around 17 years ago (based on an old FZR1000EXUP) and has developed them ever since. I know of
at least two on the road, and one in particular has done a fair few miles!
They're working on a supercharged version at the moment.....
Spin 'er off Well...
