inspired by a Ford Ka...and co-designed by a friend-of-a-friend who works for Sega. looks like quite a nice piece of kit.

If they get that off the drawing board it will be very rapid

it's already been built. they're unveiling it at a race thing in August...can't remember what it's called but i can find out. i should have loads of pictures of it after that race

Wow, I thought it was a concept.

I presume its a custom made race vehicle and cost will reflect that. would be nice to see one on the road though, I've been wondering what to get next

That reminds of a cross between a Smart Roadster and a Chrysler Crossfire.

when i first found out they were making it, they were planning to rally it. i think the minimum production is 500...so i guess that's how many there'll be on the road.

Looks like a Ka and a Nissan 350Z had sex and this is it's child. Nice looking car, bet it'll shift when it finally gets racing.

And a Smart Roadster was the Ka's bit on the side.
