Default Who knows about this Tigra?

One of my mates was at Shakespeare raceway today and he came across this weapon



Still front wheel drive and it was running mid 10's at 140+mph That's seriously going some for a front wheel drive car and the 0-60 foot times were impressive too. What's the spec and power of it? It has to be one of the quickest front wheel drive cars in the UK?

You went up against my mate in his R33 GTR and beat him by about a second and a half and his car is quick He said he thought you missed a gear near the line but still crossed the line in under 11 seconds
