how do you not have room for indicators? I mean if you cant engineer those into a car, id be scared to ride in it.

I've got some of those 'click-on' lights for my bike, maybe I'll send them to their mighty laboratories, with a letter: "Go figure."

Here is the first clip of the Caparo T1 on public roads. Very low quality, but always better than nothing!

It not being street legal doesn't mean you'll never see one on the roads. There will always be people who import illegal cars and drive them around. I don't the F1 was street legal at the time, because the front bumper was too low or something, but people still buy and drive them around.

Awesome news: New engine for the Caparo T1!
The Caparo T1, which will be launched this summer, will get a new 3.5 litre NA engine with a specific output of up to 200bhp-per-litre! That means 700bhp!! The engine weighs less than 100kg so that the T1 can maintain its kerb weight of 500kg. That means a power-to-weight ratio of well over 1,000bhp/ton, which puts the T1 into F1 territory!
  
Check out the individual throttle bodies with the velocity stacks! Very exotic looking engine! The car looks stunning in white by the way

Amazing car. It looks very uncompromised. I hope the US homologation looks the other way and let this car in.

That's a really amazing car !!!
This is a car about impressive numbers, like the Veyron. But unlike the Veyron it's about low weight and not lots of power.
This car should sound like hell.

hoooolyy shit... I want one now... but it will never be street legal here in the States. I can already see the front of that car getting smashed up on speed bumps.
That V8 looks like pure mechanical sex.

The best part of it, is that it's NA now.. so you can imagine the glorious induction growl from the engine!

This is what really does it for me. That engine cover... so many louvres... It's like looking at an F1 car.
