    Spy Footage of Caparo T1

    Hey all,

    I've been a lurker for a while now.. I just started 3 weeks vacation yesterday and it looks like I plan on spending most of it posting on my favorite forums. I hope to be more active in this community starting right away..

    As a welcome gift, I wanted to point you guys to a video I found on another site I visit. Check out this spy footage of the Caparo T1.



    Poor driver, you can tell he was real anxious to let her rip when he was stuck behind the other guy.

    Cool, see you guys more soon.

    That's the car that caught fire while Jason Plato was reviewing for the British program 5th Gear.

    and when Jeremy Clarkson tested it bits & pieces kept falling off. apparently the still have several teething problems with the car. however it does look really good, and damn expensive and totally unpracticall.

    also it went around the top-gear track 9 seconds faster than the ferrari enzo .

    It looks like an amazing car, and seems like it would be a really fun ride . But these things should not happen (especially in a car show ), which shows that they did not do enough testing as of yet.

    Did this car come out after the atom or before? It looks like maybe after. I was just wondering how they compare as far as handling but then again the Atom isn't Indy car engine powered.

    it came out after the Atom, & it was developed by a group of f1 mclaren engineers.
    i think that it will eventually be the ultimate track car
