I can't think of a better way to die. Well I can but this way is legal.

Thanks Gizmodo! Just ordered one...it should arrive by Thursday. :alarm: Rubs eyes...

Ladies and Gentlemen: we have our next Batmobile

Plus, they're totally endorsed by the Sierra Club! No, wait...

Unfortunately here in New England, just because a car is "street legal" doesn't mean it'll actually be usable on the street. You need 8-10" of ground clearance to drive through our potholes. Otherwise I would have ordered mine already.

the perfect car for Mr. ex-Gizmondo, maybe next year, huh?

It's going to look really cool with the road legal 5mph collision bumper required for the US... So yeah. it's concievable that it's street legal in the UK (so is the ariel atom) but, uh probably not in the US. Unless you're inclined to pull a stefan ericsson style import job, you won't be tooling through the hills of malibu in one any time soon.

Looks retarded. I'd make fun of anyone I saw driving one.

So it's basically what...an F1 car with turn signals and a proper emissions system? Paul D: Anyone driving one of these could care less what you're doing unless you're making them brake.

"It looks like it's going fast even when sitting still." It looks like a computer rendering, so it isn't going at all. It's no more real than the Project 1221 car(s). We'll see. The Caparo site explicitly calls it a "track day car" as in you only drive it to the racing track (or onto Pacific Coast Highway at 6am for an impromptu race against "Dietrich" in his M-B SLR); I'm not sure whether that designation makes licensing approval in the UK or USA easier, or just excuses a lack of stereo, A/C, trunk space, spare tire, etc.
