It's nice, but is it not an indication that the design is flawed that you need to nail a bloody great wing onto the back of it to make it stick
to the ground.

So do half the Vauxhall Nova's and Chavaliers round here! Doesn't make it right.
Just hoping that car designers could make cars that worked without resorting to bloody great wings on the back of it. Seems like a bit of a bodge,
where ideally you'd use a wing like that as a last resort.
Cheers

Well I don't reckon it would get over a speedbump!
Either you sit incredibly low in the car or that's a very small driver!
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.

Wasn't there also a car on the Top Gear test track that they took around once, and then they brought it back again a few weeks later with a
wing?
Wasn't it the Kosiengesssddgksdgkghl/dfkbg "whatever"
Obviuosley the original shape is fine for the road, but to excell on the Track it needed the wing.. maybe like this Mazda concept which looks bloody
good 2 me!

Yes it was the Koneiseggeggeggegg gave them a couple of seconds off the lap time IIRC.
Personally I don't like it, that rear view is a bit gynecological IMO.

Looks a bit like they meted the front end just before they took it out for a spin and let the g-forces shape the front. I like it though
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I think it is plug ugly. looks like the illegitimate offspring of a Lotus Exige and a McClaren F1. Should definately be given back to BatMan.

Given the aggravation I had off my tosspot SVA inspector first time round over the fact he couldn't see over the bonnet, I'd be most
surprised if that was allowed on the road.
Indeed I might even object!
And it's a Ford, really

Hi well before we all go out and buy one. Despite sounding verry nice we may well have trouble with the noise limits when we go to track day it.
Thats if you can get in or out of it VIDEO
