I think it looks like an interesting car, to be fair... Yes, it's just a saxo, but lots of work gone into it by the looks of things

You have to respect the engineering that went into it, but it's a Saxo.
380BHP in a tin can like that must be genuinely fcucking scary.

No mention of the spec on the brakes. Hope they are better than the OEM items, gonna be quite a heavyweight with 2 engines in there

Its still a saxo at the end of the day and everybody hates saxo drivers as they are *****, and a central driving position... you prob cant have anyone in the back so it'll only ever be yourself who would enjoy the car. Everything would have to be declared (if you wanted to be legal) and I cant imagine what sort of insurance that would bring - probably more than your scoob I bet. Its a nice car, but not very practical. Think before parting with your hard earned cash bud!

Yeah, and 380bhp sounds impressive but its going to be weighing an awful lot..... and I bet when you've got two engines on, its going to be a thirsty biatch and also, services are going to be a lot more unless of course you can do it yourself.

With all that weight, I wonder how good it is at cornering..... Might be fine on a track but down lanes with sharp turns.... Think it would let you down if you didnt end up in some hedge or a farmers wall lol

Not really imo. What does a Saxo weigh? 950kg. Add an engine / gearbox @200kg and a body kit and other stuff, another 100kg maybe? What have you got = 1250kg with a power to weight of 304 bhp/ton. What else has that sort of power - Caterham Superlight R300 jumps to mind. A Hawkeye would need 425 bhp to match it.
Sounds like a hoot to me

I bet this handles like a dream....... moe like a ******* nightmare!!!

The Saxo's have reliability issues, never mind when you have doubled the "issues" up on one car.....

Also who built this up at a staggering 25k!!!!!!!!! hmmmmm 25k Saxo or a 8yr younger Spec C Litchfield with around 8k spare...hmmmmm

Converted to 4wd so will handle pretty well I expect plus 2 gti-6 engines, pretty reliable units, so its going to be quite a sleeper

Shame the standard look wasnt kept as much as possable...... Can you imagine the fun in scareing Ferrari and Porsche drivers away from the traffic lights.

I think the work that went into that is fantastic its a great technical achievment
