From the rear it reminds me of a dune buggy! ;-)

If you're interested it's a 1.8 16v that pushes out 170bhp the car only weighs 645kg so that gives it a lively performance of 0-60mph in 4.6 secs :D

I got brave here and dangled my camera over the side to take a rear facing shot on the move! :eek:

Very impressive. Is this a concept car, or production model? Also, Are those "See through" panels on the sides? :shock:
Thanks for sharing these additional photos. :D

That's a unqiue looking car. Looks kind of a like a Elise, but meaner.

Any pics of the engine at all?

Great looking car tho! Nice shots too!

Its a limited edtion of 340 produced in the year 2000, based on the elise.
Yes those are see through panels on the side, no engine pictures because I couldn't be bothered to undo the 9 allen screws to get into it! But the engine is based on the Rover "K" series so looks like that ;)

Really limited production! Damn. I thought it was a production car. Oh well if you don't have pics of the engine. I know what the Rover "k" engine looks like. Good stuff!
