I heard about this car. It's supposed to provide the most F1-like driving experience of any car ever made, and only cost like $100-200k.

A tall order to be sure, but I welcome their attempt.

I read about that car a few days ago. It looks beautiful (in a utilitarian sort of way), and should provide amazing performance. IIRC, the two guys in charge of the project worked under Gordon Murray on the Mclaren F1, which makes it even more interesting!

I saw that article posted somewhere a little while ago. The car has one of the most unique looks I've ever seen. I like the fact a small, dedicated factory is making a car like that. If the performance numbers match with what everyone is saying, they could have a real monster on their hands. I can think of a lot of people who would pay between 100-200k to experience the thrill and noise of an F1 car. Someone needs to get this thing on the road ASAP!

Wow that is nice. Hopefully they make a tandem seated one as an option.

I believe that is the plan.
