Got £8k to spend?

If you've got £8k to spend this would make the ultimate 7 - probably have to be a Viento tho due to the size.

343bhp, 6 speed box, intelligent LSD, traction control, cruise...

If it can push a 1500kg lump of lard with supercar performance imagine what it'd do in a Locost!

get one of them with the newer SMG gearbox on it. its a suprisingly good (quick) box compared to other f1 style boxes. the sound of clunking cogs as it smashes through gears makes you feel like you mean business!

Drove my mate's SMG one around Bruntingthorpe. Very impressive bit of kit, especially the automatic launch control!

i never tried the launch control, i was unsupervised on the queens highway, so i thought id be gentle!

Apparently the car logs how many times the launch control has been used in case you try and get the clutch replaced on the warranty a bit earlier than they expect!
