But that's pretty crazy potential for a mad-crazy-fast vehicle. Almost or better than F1 specs at probably half to a third or quarter of the price.
There is the Ariel Atom. Not the most aerodynamic, but that thing is fast with it's great power to weight ratio. Weighs 456kg and has a Honda 1.8L VTEC engine. 220BHP.
Rumor has it, it's going to be sold in the US and may come with a 2.4L engine.
