Aeon GT3 Spyder specs

@ Fangio Man: I don't expect that much power from a 4 cylinder engine, turbocharged or not.

It has a better power to weight ration than a Veyron!

First "surprising", but afterwards, not. It is MUCH, MUCH lighter than a Veyron and still have MUCH power for its small engine and lightness (you do not expect that much power in a lightweight car).

...11.2 best mag run, 10.9 best independent run.

For some reason, Murcielagos runs DRASTICALLY change, some magazine runs of the Non LP model run from 12.8@118.6-1.7@125.3, LP640 being 12.3@120.8-11.2@129.7, dunno why such a huge difference between the times, 4wd and the E-Gear, or could just be the E-Gear vs Manual times.

@Shaggy
Yeah it seems that the 1/4 mile time for that run was 11.7, and that MR2 Spyder's best run is 11.3. The best run for a Lamborghini Murcielago that I have seen is a 1/4 mile of 11.7 so it is not too surprising. Light weight, if one has some grip on the drive wheels, is key to quick acceleration. Some Super Cars have become too heavy, and so a lighter car will win even with less power. Given good grip off the line, it is power to weight that wins. I appreciate handling on a tight road course or curvy road more, but both the Lamborghini and the MR2 Spyder should do well in those situations. Neither are set up to be "drag cars". That is why I am quite excited about this Aeon GT3, great power to weight, but set up for curvy tracks or roads.

@ Viking: Amazing race, that little MR2 was quick!

I was thinking about what happens if you put an intercooled turbo on a very lightweight mid-engine car, when I came upon this on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB9qyRiUHiE

I would like to see some lap times for this little rocket. I am sure it would beat some big name cars.

@ Fangio Man: This car looks like a blast to drive, it has astounding performance for a 4 cylinder. It's probably like driving a Go-Kart on steroids. :D

Wow, this thing rocks! I didn't even know about this car. Does anyone know what engine this 1.8 liter inline turbo is based on? Should be lots of fun to drive. :)

Post Script: I looked it up, the engine is based off the VW 20 valve 1.8 liter inline 4

Good power to weight ration! 680 kg + 436 PS!!!

@ Fangio Man: This thing's a 3 seater?!

The drivers position is like in a McLaren F1.

What the price?

That must be one big turbocharger, for 430 horsepower from a 1.8 liter inline 4.

Nice

it is a lil unfortunate..but hey they could be the next noble..(doubt it though)..lol but i bet this is an awesome track car..

sigh Just another extremely small Brtitish carmaker again... sigh
