Actually, I think you will find that Saker Cars is actually from New Zealand. Unfortunately someone from the Netherlands has decided to take the name from the creator claiming it as their own. The actual owner has been cut out from all of the earnings despite being the person whom designed and built the cars as well as making the company from his already established Turnbull Engineering.

These cars are insane and very easily tunable. Currently winning championships in the UK such as the Arrowpak euro sports car and saloon.

According to AutoBild Saker is from the Netherlands.
Damn, why I thought it is from UK?
Well, here is the link to the page that says it is from the Netherlands:

I hope it will be tested at the TG track but the chance is low. It is a very rare car, only built in small series.

If the BAC did a 2:43 at Spa and a 1:14.3 at TG, I am curious what the Saker RapX could do at the TG track, if it really did the factory claimed time of 2:34 at Spa Francochamps.

A slower onboard lap, as claimed, but with traffic at Zandvoort. Without traffic, I am optimistic it could beat the factory claim, 1:46.1.

The first road legal Saker!
0-100: 3.4 seconds
0-200: 12.8 seconds
Topspeed: 260 km/h
Price: 105.851 €
It might have done following laptimes:
Zandvoort 1.46.1
Spa Francorchamps 2.34.1
The laptimes (but no video) are posted on their website.
