Title: We've talked about fast cars before...
Post by: Iain on May 02, 2006, 02:16:01 PM


The ultra lightweight T1 weighs less than 500kg, is a British designed 2-seater which has been developed using aerospace and high formula racing technology. The compact V8 engine develops approximately 500bhp and the resultant 1,000bhp-per-tonne power-to-weight ratio endows the car with an extraordinary 0-60mph time of 2.5 seconds, 0-100mph time of 5 seconds and 0-100-0mph time of less than 10 seconds making it the world’s fastest accelerating and braking road car. - http://www.gizmag.co.uk/go/5545/

Glass bubble pops up like an airplane cockpit. It's basically an F1 car they have added a roof and fenders to.

Beautyous. I like how they made it a two-seater in case you couldn't get laid from the girl just looking at it. Wink

You'd both have to be contortionists for you to get laid in that thing.

Well, yes. But if you could you can do 0-100-0 in 10 secs and then impress her with the car's performance too.

Honestly, not many women I know would like doing 0-100 in 10 seconds...hell...not many men I know would be game for that kind of sprint. My newest car does 0-60 in 5.5ish and I've had people holding on to anything they can get their hands on before I even hit 50mph.

I hope those people are girls.

Yeah, who doesn't like insane acceleration and speed?

So, what kind of cost are we talking on these?

Most of them were, but quite a few guys have been pretty timid about making a 0-85ish sprint onto the highway.

Daniel, I was jokingly referring to your car's ability to get girls to grab on to anything they can get their hands on.
