This is another of the really cool racing cars for the road. I like this one. The Caparo T1<\/a> has 500hp and weighs only 500kg which gives it a phenomenal power to weight ratio. It can reach 160km\/h in an amazing (race car like) 5.3secs. More info on the Caparo can be found on Wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is one exciting machine. http:\/\/www.carbodydesign.com\/archive\/2006\/04\/17-caparo-t1\/<\/a><\/p>\n

From the official Press Release:<\/p>\n

The first Caparo T1 prototype will be unveiled at the Top Marques show in Monaco by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II.<\/p>\n

Caparo T1 prototypeThe presentation will be witnessed by Angad Paul chief executive of Caparo plc together with Caparo Vehicle Technologies\u2019 design director Ben Scott-Geddes and engineering director Graham Halstead, the two ex-McLaren engineers whose inspiration helped create the car.<\/p>\n

The ultra lightweight T1, which 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 500 hp and the resultant 1,000 hp-per-tonne power-to-weight ratio enables the T1 to accelerate form 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and to from 0 to 100 mph in less than 10 seconds making it the world\u2019s fastest accelerating and braking road car.<\/p>\n

It is also fast round corners with 3g braking and cornering ability equivalent to a Le Mans Prototype. The T1\u2019s high power-to-weight ratio delivers phenomenal performance on the track. Similarly, the same principles of lightweight design in a car one-third the weight of the average family saloon combined with a normal 15 gallon (70-litre) fuel tank means a range better than the average car of up to 500 miles (800km) on public highways.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
