Racing Cars and Gaffa Tape never too far apart !
To much carbon fibre for me ( unless it is the 'Proper Stuff' )

The carbon one isn't their first, there's painted ones as well.
Look really good with the shell off too.

Could be an illusion, but the wheelbase looks tiny, like it would swap ends in a straight line, cool looking thing though.

The dp1 has a wheelbase of 80" (i.e. the same as a classic mini).
The dp4 (which I think is the one in the picture) has a wheelbase of 68.5" (!) Like a kart it will be really good at corners, but probably a
bit twitchy on the straight for a lot of people.
Full dimensions here
