I'd love to own one of those things, but I don't think I'd have the balls to drive it.

That sort of sarcasm doesn't work when everyone else can see the image. :p

Not as sexy as a McLaren F1, but less ugly than an Enzo

You only have to drive at YOUR limits, not the car's

That's a good thing to remember.

Looks very interesting... Any idea how much one of these would go for?

Just last year I went car shopping, and made a sudden realization... I don’t FIT into 90% of the cars available (I am 6'4" with a heavy build). Since then I have seriously been thinking of buying a light dune buggy and getting it street legal, something light and tough with lots of interior room. Either that or I just buy another jeep. I don’t think I would fit into one of these, but I am interested to see them on the market anyway.

Saw one the other day as well, really cool looking, this one was yellow and only had one seat. All I know is P.Diddy or someone has one.

I'd rather have an Ariel Atom. 1.9g is extremely impressive, though.

Looks rather ugly... like some dune buggy and a motorcycle got thrown-up.

Think that was 140 km, because he said that car was doing 160+ and...

Top speed: 140 mph.

Thankyou.

Those numbers just didn't seem like ones I could wrap my head around. They didn't seem "fast" in other words.

Also, factory listed max speed != actual max speed.

I dunno. Shouldn't factory listed max speed be a top speed "under optimal conditions", not just some theoretical top speed? So, if an end-user could arrange those optimal conditions (whatever they might be), he should be able to reach the top speed.

That thing indeed looks like a frog...
