Have sat in one once and could not fathom out how you could drive it fast when the seating position is so bad.

Peanuts 20 May 2006 02:17 PM

was the "220" bit the speed it could reach, or the distance in metres needed to stop from 70? :lol1:

They don't make 'em like that anymore .... it was funny that when new, they tried to conceal the fact it had what is basically a turbo'd Metro 6R4 motor (which in turn is a Rover 3.9 V8 with #7 and 8 cylinders chopped off) :D

It is supposed to be able to reach 220mph... however when attempting to do this the bonnet pins are bent out of shape etc - not ideal.

was it on the back of a tow truck LOL

+Doc+ 20 May 2006 10:54 PM

thought it made 219 and the makers failed? :D

Quite possibly the best looking and definetly one of the most amazing cars ever made, shame it never got the V12 and 4wd as the concept was :)

and the turning circle radius is really bad. Try driving down a normal street with one..... impossible.
