RE: Driven: Z Cars Cappuccino

[rhinochopig]

So the article stops where most PH'ers will be interested, i.e. what the hell does it drive like?

Come on PH, shoddy article.

And as for calling Chris a Boffin - He's a lovely bloke, and certainly knows his stuff, but a boffin is not a word you'd use to describe him.

wow, I really love this kind of cars, looks great to, also that body-kit, great combo and well done.

[British Beef]

BRILLIANT !!!

One of the best car modifications / conversions I have ever seen.

You can poke your MX-5

There's a full feature on this in Banzai Magazine this month, makes a very interesting read.

That is amazing - fair play to the guy for commissioning the build, what a weapon!

I want one!

[stew-S160]

Utterly stupid car. Damn I want it bad!

Seen this one at Oulton a few times.... It's had me heading for the Classifieds on more than one occasion...

Good effort at a Countach replica but I can't help thinking that a different donor might have helped to really capture the shape....

Both of my Cappuccino's were fun in standard form... I can only imagine what this would be like (fking scary is my vote)

[Wadeski]

Isn't the conversion 35k?

z cars look like a good outfit but their prices are....interesting.

[TinyCappo]

I used to have one that was a little scary

fully forged and bored out to 720cc trick cams suzuki sport turbo huge front mount running a full standalone AEM ecu and 550CC injectors from an RX8! also a two way cusco man diff.

It was batst scary and would drift and light its wheels up in 3rd with a clutch kick.




just before i sold her to a lunatic who now rallies it round the french spanish border.

That would kinda ruin it, with that much money to spent, I'd rather start with an S1 Elise, weight is rather similar.

[ArnageWRC]

Marvellous!!! We need more cars like this. Apart from the wheels, it’s a great looking car. Put a wing on the rear for downforce and that would finish the look.

Being a little sensible, could you have a slightly de-tuned version it and it would more of an everyday ‘Sportscar’?

[J4CKO]

Like the idea but suspect in practice it would be a terrifying, and a pain in the arse, can appreciate it for what it is but at 35 grand, no thanks, that buys an awful lot of interesting metal.

[Mastodon2]

It certainly looks mad and the figures are mind boggling, it must be a terrifying drive. However, that is a lot power from a small engine, forged parts or not, how many miles can it do before it needs a strip down and rebuild?

[Carlique]

Incredible ! Want want want !!!

[loudlashadjuster]

HELL YES.

Needs better wheels though.
