I wanna get this for a dailly driver.... :biglaugh:

Street legal, classified as a motorcycle (so you need to wear a helmet and get a motorcycle licence), but it has a 1260cc motor, does 0-60 in 3.8sec, costs $46,000 brand new, supposed to handle corners better then anything else on the road, and looks like a lot of fun

does it have doors? that might be a problem if its not summer..

 

[miekedmr]

oooo... what is it called?

 

[JB91389]

They're called T-Rex.

 

[suprahero]

It is very sharp looking, but somehow I keep pictureing it up under a diesel with ambulances and sirens everywhere........................:dunno:

 

[bowsercake]

It looks liek something similar to the Ariel Atom. I don't know what that is but the Atom was reviews by Top Gear and its pretty crazy for a street legal car.

Got to wonder how that would be here in Fargo, in the middle of the winter, with snow and -30 below. But then at 3.00 per gallon I may be willing to try it

We saw a black one of those back at SILV02. It was hanging out at the dyno - and drew a HUGE crowd! There is some footage of it on the first SILV DVD. I'd LOVE one of those things!

hey one of those was at the coner at the otown supra meet.. was interesting..

 

[born2drv]

ya its super cool i want one real bad... how else can $46,000 make everyone and their brother drool not to mention faster then a ferrari.... and its perfect for so-cal weather too

 

[Syris]

i like the ariel better

 

[born2drv]

the ariel is cool and all (and quicker) but it's got 4 wheels which means it has to be registered as a car (would never pass here in the US) or registered as a kit-car (which is possible, but is a pain in the ass). Plus since it's a UK-company getting parts may be a pain in the ass, but it's got a honda engine so that should be easy to maintain. the t-rex is a canadian company so getting parts wouldn't be as hard for people in north america, plus they have dealers here who could repair/support the car. since the t-rex is classified as a motorcylce registering it is simple.

and i just think the t-rex looks cooler

For $46k, I would rather get an Elise. A/C when you need it, doors, don't have to wear a helmet, heater during the winter, and a cover for when it rains. Might not be quite as fast as the t-rex, but fast enough...

i drove one back in 01

Shoundn't this be in off topic????

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

I want an exige.

 

[tubbie]

exige s edition..... it's supercharged.... :bigthumb:

 

[TRACKMKIII]

The Exige is a beast!! I would love to have one!!

 

[swaq]

Shoundn't this be in off topic????

Yes.


If I recall correctly, the factory Exige with supercharger isn't available in the States (yet?).
