We were down at MB at Brooklands at the weekend. Just inside the doors was a Maclaren SLR
Now how do I fit brakes that are as big as my wheels, under my wheels 

Thats asking for a cartoon.... a little lightweight seven up on its front wheels after the driver sneezed and accidentally braked a little too hard :p
You could probably make them work by putting 300kg of lead under the floor...
there's probably no way you could go fast enough to generate enough heat for them to work! 
I made a set like that for my FTO
AP Racing 6 pot calipers with 330mm 2 piece disks... just fit under a set of 17" wheels. They stopped
the car like nothing else.
This is me in the FTO chasing an S2000 around Elvington http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x71bvVrkq_g
only reason I kept with him was the brakes... I miss that car
