    "victory by design" is another amazing car program if you can find it to watch. Former F1 driver drives all these old and current exotic sports/race cars.

    Is it sturctured for a two people drive? or can be increaed further?
    By the way i did not much understand 'awesome' 'love at first sight here' ๐Ÿ˜

    could any one bother to explain what's so good? ๐Ÿ˜›

    Yes, two people can fit in the car. one behind the other like in a jet fighter. Although it would not be comfortable. It is a barely road legal race car so not designed for comfort or carrying passengers or cargo. there is no radio, airbags, cruise control, power windows.. nothing but a real small fast car. =)
  • raj87verma88

    Yep, it is like the Ariel Atom or the Caparo T1.
    @Durga: What is so good??? Did I read correctly.

    oh!
    so a racing car is it?
    good! i always used to wonder, why do the racing cars need to be so low in height and so sleek?

    Sleek design to make them more aerodynamic and to ensure less resistance from air while moving. Low height to lower the centre of gravity. Therefore less chances of toppling when taking turns at high speeds. The spoiler behind ensures that the car stays grounded. It works on the same principal as an airplane wing but in the opposite direction.

    Also to produce strong ground force, which helps to keep the vehicle firmly planted on the road surface allowing good traction at speed. This allows the car to go faster and corner better. At high speeds with air flow above and under the vehicle, it begins to act like an airplane wing and create lift. This lift will reduce the weight of the vehicle on the tires. This weight is needed for traction for power as well as steering. The lift will effect handling and if it increases the vehicle can loose control or in extreme cases actually leave the ground, causing a crash. A low center of gravity with wings to produce ground force and a minimum of under car clearance will eliminate this effect. Formula One race cars produce so much ground force that they can actually drive even upside down (like on the roof of a tunnel) at speed-nobody to my knowledge has done a real world test though. =)

    Yep the force can go as strong as 5 Gs

    Wait, no radio or mp3? Thats pushing it too far man ๐Ÿ˜› Its not like it weighs a lot. Put some jacks for headphones, and you can save on speaker space.

    Who drives without music on the highway?

    Such cars, or road legal F1 cars do not have much of fancy stuff. No AC and airbags etc and no radio.

    It doesnt hurt to add radio! I see no logic in removing it ๐Ÿ˜› Unless.. the manufacturers want you to listen to their engine symphony.. *rolls eyes*

    Will you be worried about listening to radio when going 200+ kmph while almost lying in a small hole of a seat.
  • Ashraf HZ
    Ashraf HZ
    Not worried, but I would like to listen to music while driving fast ๐Ÿ˜›

    You dont like music?
  • gohm
