The idea of trying to deploy 748bhp through 195 section tyres.

... will be told it's the wrong thread.
Correct!
It is decently modified though, just not to everyones tastes.
I'd be amazed if that was to anyone's taste!

Why have tyres when you can have tracks.

Those wheels look tiny and the front overhang looks huge.

Chevrolet Spark with a 7.0 V8 lump thrown up front...





Quite a bonkers idea that you can cram such a lump into a Matiz.

After having an Elise for a few years that is something I would love a go in, it looks longer than standard though, might be the camera angle I'm not sure, maybe it's the racing GT type rear clam

It's a custom rear subframe and clam, about a foot longer than standard - basically there's a chunk added between the air intakes and rear wheel arch. Both the front and rear have also been widened.

Here's a picture of it as a work in progress - you can see where the extra fibreglass has been added:

Yes its stretched at the back to fit the engine, in a similar way to the Hennessy Venom.
