It looks damn fast, thats for sure.

I thought this looked familiar - over here it was called the Freestream T1. Seems that since then they've changed company name, the Freestream site diverts to Caparo.

It sure is cool, but it's just not a car in the same esthetic way a Veyron or an Enzo is a car.

I bet it feels a bit like driving a motorbike
