The car uses a midmounted supercharged DOHC 1.8 liter Inline-4 with VVT-i (I won't get into VVT-i as it can be hard to explain.). The engine's maxium output is 240 horsepower at 8,000 RPM(8k RPM is also the redline), and maxium torque is 170lb ft at 5,800 RPM. Now 240 horsepower doesn't seem like much horsepower for a car like this. But it manages a 4.0 second zero to sixty (Same as a U.S. spec Ferrari F430 which has 483bhp). It can pull off such a quick sprint because of its lightweight, it only weighs 2077lbs, while the Ferrari for example weighs in at about 3,200lbs (Which is considered light). Along with the weight is amazing handling, Car and Driver noted "The way steering should be" in a comparison verse a Corvette Z06 and Porsche 911 GT3, along with other positive remarks. The front splitter works with the rear spoiler to create a large amount of downforce, so the spoiler isn't there just for looks, everything on the car is functional.

This car is also considered the purist production sports car by many people. Perhaps it's because carpet costs extra? The only luxory that you really got is a radio, power windows, and a heater. A/C is extra, and theirs an option to remove the heater. The suspension is extremely stiff giving a bumpy ride but very precise handling.

The car is hand made, hand painted using water based paints, and base price is $59,890, a rather good price if you ask me. This car is my favorite car and really is a good example of how lightweight and low horsepower can be used together to create a good race car. It's fuel ratings are 20mpg city and 26mpg highway, which is very very good for a sports car like this. Overall this is probabally the coolest car out there, a supercharged high revving engine with extreme lightweight, and awesome looks(pictures don't do justice you got to see it in real life, you'll be amazed).
