That engine's amazing: looks like a DFV.
It's no wonder they want £100k+ for each car: imagine the engine development and production costs for something that's being sold to the tune of 25-odd units. Surely they must have another vehicle in mind for it? Maybe a race series or a new MG TF (
) or something?
It makes even TVR's own engines look mass-produced!

I am sure it's only a glorified kit-car really. Like those funny Ultima things.
If you want a 4 wheeled motorbike, you should go for the original Gordon Murray designed Light Car Company Rocket, which was launched back in 1992. Ariel rather copied this idea.

How much!!
Fek me, I'll stick with my westfield thank you. It cost me £5,500 3 years ago. Admittedly I have probably spent that again on it since.
It may be 16 years old and only has 150BHP but it accelerates faster than my wrx and is wicked down the lanes.
