Thumbs up WaaaaaaaaaHoooooooooooooooooo!!!

Those things are incredible!

I did some research on them of couple of years ago.

They're the only car (that is in any way affordable) that you can race motorcycles with...and actually have a chance of winning!

Zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds!

WaaaaaaaHoooooooooo!

They use Honda engines and more recently they seem to have gone to GM Ecotec supercharged 4 cylinders.

They've gotten a lot closer to $100k U.S., though (still a relative deal for the performance). The Bugatti Veyron is just as quick (but is assuredly FASTER at a top speed of 253 mph), but costs a whopping $1.6 million.

Brilliant, if you live in a fair weather state and/or can afford a toy like this.

Absolute Rocketships!

personally, I've got zero interest in it. Love the video intro, however.

The presenter in this clip is Jeremy Clarkson.He admits he hates bikes and spends most of his time slagging off bikes and bikers.
He is a first class a-hole.

Gotta love those weird Euro rides that will never get to these shores. I'd like to buy the car that runs on compressed air, but it will never get certified over here.

Guess I'll have to become an ex-patriot and live in Italy or Spain or???

P.S. I love Top Gear

I've been on their email list for a couple years. They were tempting back then, but the price has gone up $5-6K every few months it seems, so they aren't so affordable now.

Still looks like a lot of fun though.

Carkson has made a career of dissing bikes. I always thought he was a fool and he validated my opinion by riding around in that thing without a helmet.
