Is that the car that was in PPC, they said it had bits of suspension from an A1GP (or similar) car?
'Bits' from an A1GP car? Errr, care to explain? ETA: Wayne(creator) describes it as "Roughly 1/3 A1GP car, 1/2 a Hayabusa, lots of sheet metal work, three girlfriends, eighteen months, blood, sweat, almost some tears, a few other parts....."
It has " narrowed version of the A1GP caliper"
Lola A1GP chassis parts...

Absolutely fantastic machine, and well done to the guy who comissioned it. from having a car with the same ethos (TFSi Elise and 0-100 in under 8 secs) I can vouch that these "types" of cars are spastic quick on the road as many a poor Porsche has found out.
Get some vids up of the machine as I would be extremely interested to see them!
Great work Z-cars!!

How interesting but oddly not surprising at all.
Car magazines and the Manufacturers (who ahem, generously 'sponsor' them) are busy spending £-billions in their sleazy efforts to convince people THEY asked for and NEED big, heavy, inefficient, complex, uneconomical and comically unreliable vehicles which cost a fortune to buy and maintain yet remain very, very cheap to produce.
BUT
In reality.
The PH score for this shows us a very basic but beautifully built 'tuner car' is easily destroying the best scores attained by these increasingly bland offerings.
(Ferrari, Porsche, LambAudini, BMW, Ford, Audi, etc, etc, etc)
Simply put, the heavyweight purveyors of mega-bland motoring have just been given a serious kick in the plums from what they would do their hardest to convince us is a toy car.
Id be willing to bet its faster by a long chalk as well.
Well done ZCars.

Problem is, people will give this a huuuge score, then go out and buy an Boxster.

A good measure of a modern cars excellence at delivering only banality is to look around you.
Look at how miserable folk are when driving the vastly over-rated barges. Try finding a happy, smiling driver in that sea of grim faces that stare through you on your daily commute.
IF modern cars are really THAT grrrreat then folk would be grinning from ear to ear and HAPPY.
BUT
They are not doing any of that.
Hmmmmmmmmm.
With my insane cappuccino nipping in and out of traffic through gaps that bikes would wince at drifting around roundabouts because I could at will and hooning away from everyone with 110hp from a 708cc fully forged lunatic mobile.
Grin was compulsory though grin was often fear induced. Maniacal laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of the car blasting lots of more expensive metal away and achieving nearly 50mpg whilst doing it..optional
