can someone explain to me why they designed it to be a top heavy, straight line only beast? it makes no sense being shaped the way that it is.

They said it's got handling capabilities comparable to a Porsche 911. It's engine is only 4 inches off the ground, and it weighs as much as an Evo RS.

hahaha. i saw this on my aol news today at work. started laughin my *** off in my cubicle. haha!!

Thing looks wicked tho. might be fun. It has two sparco seats inside with hanress'

To bad its not a manual tho. slap it on some 15"Gram lights.... call it a day.

I'd still rather Drive my Shifter kart over this thing tho. The fact that its soo tall would freak me out in a corner.
