Anybody know of any really unusual ones? My first nomination is the

Cizeta-Moroder V16T, with only 10 being built. Any more nominations?

This thing had a transverse V16, 4 valves per cylinder. Imagine hand-lapping in 64 valves

Here's another though


Peugoet want their collective heads banging together for not building this.

I'm at work mate, what the hell's yours?

Im at uni, 2 bits of coursework for tomorrow and too many games of solitaire to play! Strange thing is im not tired yet, my sleep pattern has gone to pot recently!
One coursework is my auto design peice, im resigning the front suspension of a 7 style car. So its fairly interesting...

I mis the Bristol Fighter in that superb list

What about the edonis, bit GT90 looking with maclaren f1 esque front end. Performance not too shabby apparently...

Another pic of the Schuppan.

Obviously both the daur and schuppan are based on the same car....

I've heard the Dauer 962 is "quite quick"

What about this:



The Vector WX3.
Apparently it has 1000bhp and a 3 speed auto and does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds.

The Dauer 962 spec is as follows

All carbon fibre bodywork, twin turbo flat 6 engine (thatd be porsche then ), 730bhp, 700Nm torque, and weighs just over 1000kg

That translates to 0-60 in 2.6 seconds and 250mph (est.) top speed...

So yeah...its 'quite' quick

Cheers,
David

Yeah, it's basically a street legal Porche 962 le mans car, pretty mental. Evo featured it in an issue not so long ago, along with the crazy Elise GT1.

Yup the Elise GT1 is nice.... (Im an Elise fan...)

3.5 litre Twin turbo V8, 580bhp. Weighs exactly a tonne. 0-60 in 3.8secs and top speed of 200mph.....

Real british engineering too

I saw it in the supercar paddock at goodwood last year and didn't realise what it was. I though it might have been a rejected Exige prototype or something.
In the Evo article they said the boost could be easily doubled...

Nice what sort of power are you looking at then? 650-700bhp maybe?

I'd estimate it would be quite a bit, yes
The tyres on it were a bit knackered but I think the owner had managed to convince some tyre maker or other to make up a new set (they were bespoke).

The tyres on the GT1 are:

F 235/40ZR-17
R 285/35ZR-18

All i know is that i wouldnt want to buy the new ones....mind you those on the back of the Dauer are 355/30
