It looks like it might be a Formula SAE car. The University of Michigan builds one each year as do most of the other top engineering schools in the US, and some from Canada as well I believe. There was one team a few years back that built a 600cc V8 out of two I-4 bike engines joined at the same crank...unfortunately they got DQed on the basis that their car wasn't self-starting and had to be cranked by a removable motor as are F1 cars and Indycars.

Yes, because it handle and accelerate like nothing other car, only 3.9 sec for 0-100KM/H and max. of 1,2 G in handling. The top speed is only 170 KM/H because the final gear ratio is set for acceleration, but for a small 600cc 4 inline 80 HP Yamaha bike motors, it's amazing.

with that kind of performance it is a wish car but i still say it would no be my dream car...a dream must be something special and totaly diferent...something you could never or most most probably never buy....but i must remark that it must be a car that you really really like...not just the looks but as a unit.....performance and cahsis... :D :D

as dream car. i would take a car that can be drevin in street so other could see me . not a car to drie once a week or month, and in track only ?

however i like the car , the whight desing is professinal to the look of it, as you can see the driver and the engine were centered in the car which will allow max whight balancing and 50/50 whight rait.

But i would try to use YAMAHA hayabosa engine in it.. :twisted:
