Interesting.

Note that the intercooler is in the nose..........I would think that a lot of people might raise their eyebrows at that, those that believe that longer intercooler pipework must equal massive lag?

Those "cherry bomb" looking things after the compressor outlets look suspeciously like PWR air/water chargecoolers. Can't see where the air pipes go after that but the water pipes seem to lead fowards.

It is based on an modified Elise / Exige chassis, which would explain the looks.

get it on the top gear track! personally i think it will **** all over most cars out there. the exige is one of the best handling cars out there, no weight virtually 1135 lb ft tq! **** me. 135mph in 3rd gear! cant see there being any turbo lag there then, unless you have it in the wrong gear for the corner. really want to see how this compares on top gear to see if the "claims" are genuine. cant help wondering though why nobody has done this earlier? almost reminds me of the shelby cobra approach to power/weight ratio.
