Midi build site
This was posted on the dsr racers discussion board. I had not seen it and thought it might be of interest to some here.
Excellent photos of the body creation process.

It always amazes me that these new manufactures pop up from time to time, and promote a car that does not even exist in the metal yet, let alone has
been tested or developed.
They seem to think:
Draw car
Advertise car
Build car
Sell car
Deliver car
Or even:
Draw car
Advertise car
Sell car
Build car
Deliver Car
If only it was that easy!

Does look nice though
anyone else noticed the complete lack of health and safety in the picccys ? several shots of guys spraying (both paint and gelcoat) and also cutting
finished moulds, with no sort of mask on..... 
also no-one using gloves etc when applying GRP

Erm... I think it bears MORE than a passing resemblance to the McLaren F1...

"This is a LeMans GT inspired car, much like the Porsche GT1, Jaguar XJ220, Ford GT90 prototype, Porsche 962, the Mazda 787B LeMans car"
Funny, they left out the one car that it looks to be an exact copy of, the McLaren F1. (Your post above beat me to it!)
A little too much marketing BS. Why no picture of at least the buck? Why just a line drawing?
And my favorite, "The best kit car in the market." Really? Where, what car, show me. Pretty big claims for something that doesn't
exist. "My hovercar is better then everyone elses, just wait."
I can't stand BS; makes me think they're not being upfront.

This isn't a kit so much as a re-body anyhow...
MR2 rebody to be exact as many of these designs...

Still a very lengthy process.
I have to say, I'm still hugely impressed with the whole thing

My views (many of which agree with previous views)..........
Yes, it IS an F1 copy (virtually) the guy credited with being the designer is really a "copier"
The plug and mould work looks good, however the rest of the engineering is not done or at least not shown...why?
The publicity is VERY premature.

Oooo don't get me started on that...
You can read K1's official comments on their state of business:
http://www.attackforums.com/showthread.php?t=1768
The line that gets me is:
...thanks to this forum, we did not found anyone else who would like to continue spreading Attack name in USA."
So it's everyone else's fault...
