Obscure sportscars
Anybody know of any really unusual ones? My first nomination is the
Cizeta-Moroder V16T, with only 10 being built. Any more nominations?
This thing had a transverse V16, 4 valves per cylinder. Imagine hand-lapping in 64 valves

I've heard the Dauer 962 is "quite quick"

What about this:
The Vector WX3.
Apparently it has 1000bhp and a 3 speed auto and does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds.

The Dauer 962 spec is as follows
All carbon fibre bodywork, twin turbo flat 6 engine (thatd be porsche then  ), 730bhp, 700Nm torque, and weighs just over 1000kg
That translates to 0-60 in 2.6 seconds and 250mph (est.) top speed...
So yeah...its 'quite' quick
Cheers,
David

Yeah, it's basically a street legal Porche 962 le mans car, pretty mental. Evo featured it in an issue not so long ago, along with the crazy
Elise GT1.

Real british engineering too

I saw it in the supercar paddock at goodwood last year and didn't realise what it was. I though it might have been a rejected Exige prototype or
something.
In the Evo article they said the boost could be easily doubled...

I'd estimate it would be quite a bit, yes
The tyres on it were a bit knackered but I think the owner had managed to convince some tyre maker or other to make up a new set (they were bespoke).

The tyres on the GT1 are:
F 235/40ZR-17
R 285/35ZR-18
All i know is that i wouldnt want to buy the new ones....mind you those on the back of the Dauer are 355/30
