"The Ultimate in performance..........

Shaped like a Renault Clio in a space frame, just over 200kg in weight and around 320bhp.

It has 2 x Blackbird 1100cc motorcycyle engines and revs virtually its head off at 16,000 rpm. There is nothing to touch this.

It has won every event it entered".

Chip, dougs simply copied the ad... I thougt it looked wrong and have been searching everywhere for the weight of one of those engines... seems to low to me as well.

Thats the same weight as the bike they engines came from roughly
(and thats a bike with only ONE engine!)

Gotta be 400kg or so i should think.

Still AWESOME though

Dan

Must be bloody stunning to drive, something like that would be RWD wouldn't it?

Could be made road legal too if its not already!?

Anonymous

Will be RWD yeah.

PS

be a reasonable amount of work to get road legal, especially as the headlights are painted on

U'd ahve to re-shell it everytime u came to a speed bump!

Dan

Didn't notice the headlights!

There isnt a shell, the "shell" is for cosmetic purposes only.

Not a chance that weighs 200kg!

Especially with driver and fuel to get it running!

Rhys

If its 200kg yo want to be carefull it doesnt blow away

Maybe they weight it on the moon?

My best guess is that it is 200kg without the engines in it.

I reckon each engine must be around 50 to 75kg, then the roll cage will be fairly substantial, all the suspension components wont be light as you don't want them breaking!

Then think about discs, calipers, weight of the Compo MLs it's on, tyres etc. Even the seat will be about 3kg!

Might buy it so that I can do that trick you showed me at Weston on Sunday evening.......the one that uses two McDonalds trays under the rear wheels

Care to elaborate then Doug, think i've seen something like this before!

Global GT Lights are still quicker than the Clio round Mondello, and they only have one YZF600 engine

Have done, and the fact you blindy pasted it without engaging your brain first is what made me think you might have been smoking crack, so have that back and have another for your trouble

for you there doug, that car was front wheel drive and indeed needs to be for the old "driving around like a coont with your handbrake on with the rear wheels parked on two mcdonalds trays" trick to work.
And please dont make it sound like it was me doing it, my car was parked up behaving itself like a good boring little alfa should be, i was just telling you how they were managing to do it thats all, i wasnt invovled in anyway!
