This is awesome! Its a purpose built race car designed for European Autocross. I’m not totally clear on what that means but that’s what it says on the company’s website. It’s a little tube frame racecar with a 1000cc motorcycle engine. That means it’s crazy quick. 0-62mph in 3.1 seconds quick. Top speed is 148mph and it looks damn fast – car specifications are below. This is Matt Brandenburg of Brakim Racing testing the car for the first time in the US:
The full car sells for $30,000 which is a ton of performance for less than the cost of new 3 series BMW.
