Yea, we need more stuff like this. This sounds like it would be way more fun than (insert supercar of your choosing here) to actually drive on the street.

Lightweight, efficient, affordable, and a manual. Take my money, Gordon.

Be great if there was a crossover version with a huge chrome grille and lots of grey plastic side moulding. :erjerbs:


But now I need to know how to make my Fiesta have 215 HP.

Only coming over as a Show & Display registration.  Laaaaame.  And it'll be too expensive for us plebeians.

That statement pertained to a different vehicle.  He believes this one could be federalized for American consumption.

You're right.  I misread that.

Well, let's cross our fingers then!  <$50k, road legal, and 1800 lbs would be amazing.

I wonder how much cheaper this would be if he didn't design it to meet modern crash regs.
