This car has a mid-engine, that means that the engine is placed in the middle of the car and gives the car extreme handling and stability, also cars such as Ferrari and Lamborghinis have mid-engines. This car is power by a 3.5L naturally aspirated V8. A naturally aspirated means that the pressure of the cylinder is decreased, this leads to more air and gas going into the cylinder, therefore having a bigger explosion in the cylinder, and ending up with much more horsepower. The Caparo has 575 hp and it only weighs 1036 lb, this means that it has a hp to weight ratio of 1045 hp/tone; double the Bugatti Veyron. Unfortunately this car will only be accessible to the super rich, but us others are still allowed to dream.

Fantastic car. I believe Gordan Murray (who helped with McLaren F1 program) was in charge of this project.
Unfortunatly, did you see that one of them spontaneously combusted during a test run?
yeah i heard about that. Suposebly it was a faulty oil seal that caused the fire.
But they already fixed the problem.
