reminds me of the Reliant 3 wheelers and Bond Bug, both three wheelers that got converted into 4 wheelers.

I love good engineering. Keep it up.

logically, yes it is - however it looks like (short-term) FUN

I'm with you on that one. But i remember a mag years ago featuring an Isetta with the back half of a Kawasaki ZZR1100 stuffed in the rear end so it was still three wheels and was just a bit longer. Must have been fun/hairy/terrifying in equal measures.

Certainly not this thread! Poor S15. Ditch the spoiler and rear splitter and it would probably look quite good.

would make more sense with a BMW 1100 boxer (but would be spinning the wrong way I suppose)

The 600 Grosser in the Brave Pill reminded me of the 1 off factory prototype 2 door coupe. Many have been bodged aftermarket, but "BB-A 716" was a factory study, a single example that now resides in private hands

Looks like a well executed thing, but I don't really understand why they get built. Obviously it's a track-only car, in which case why wouldn't you buy a proper racing prototype or GT instead?

You could get a V10-engined LMP car with considerable change from that car's €849k asking

They've not done THAT much to it, unless I'm missing something fundamental?

Awesome thing, don't get me wrong, but the end result isn't anything particularly special, is it?

What is wrong with the plate, it is perfectly legal and just suggests the word Spark, why would that annoy?

It's not that it's annoying, it's just it wouldn't normally get in this thread as it's implied rather than actually spelling anything. S7 ARK would be the nearest best available I would suggest. Loving the van paintjob though, shame not a big enough bonnet to roll over it though when making a quick getaway smile

Surely that would be more appropriate for an Iron Man fanatic.
