i can believe it, since its so light, and still retains a low displacement motor. also with vtec only engaging when needed, the fuel only wastes while driving hard, much like any honda.


when they start making production cars like this, then it will be interesting.

I saw this car in an earlier news story, but they didn't have the hood open. I think it's a pretty bad ass car, but the price just seems ridiculous. I have a feeling that you could make your own (maybe combine a Lotus 7 kit-car with an s2k drivetrain?) for far less.
