Only the front motors rev that high. I'll be surprised if the petrol unit goes into five figures.

 

It looks like the front of a 918, the rear of a P1, and a penis stuck on the roof. Makes the RB/AM thing look positively pretty.

Petrol unit goes to a (limited*) 11,000rpm by all accounts.

 

 

*Limited from the 15,000rpm when it's the actual F1 car, "for reliability".

[Ekona]

I wonder how many of those cars will ever see 11000 on the rev counter?

[AMT]

I'd be embarrassed to drive about in that... you'd look a right knob... soon will come the pics from Monaco of some...knob driving one lol

[ilogikal1]

You'd look no more (or less) a knob driving up and down your local high street in this than you would in a Maserati MC12 or AM Valkyrie to be fair.

 

But then that's not really their purpose, is it?

Why? It's not  exactly ugly, is it?

Really reminds me of this visually, and that's no bad thing.

That is a thing of beauty, except the silly looking shark fin. Looks like its basically a remake of the Macca F1.

Alonso should buy one so he could be more competitive for the rest of the year 

[Ekona]

Alonso could buy a Kia and still be more competitive for the rest of the year

Why don't Honda just buy one for R&D

That's the fastest looking Taxi I've ever seen!

Clearly you've never seen the film Taxi...

 

Or the infinitely even worserer remake, Taxi;

No I haven't seen it and I can't afford a TV now I have a Zed! 

[Jetpilot]

I personally think that looks absolutely awesome

[z21]

I just don't really see the point.. if you want F1 levels of performance why not just buy an F1 car?

 

As a common man, I highly doubt it's a dilemma that I'll ever face!
