Caparo T1 Unveiled at London London Salon Privé
Supercars keep getting more and more extreme, but this may be the most extreme yet. It's called the Caparo T1, and it's as close as you'll ever get to a genuine race car for the road. It's been designed by a bunch of former McLaren Formula One engineers, and concedes only as much to practicality as is strictly necessary to make it street legal...but just barely. Make no mistake about it: this is no Bugatti Veyron. While that supercar tops the height of luxury, this is bare bones. The whole car weighs just 1200 lbs, and with a 575hp 3.5-liter V8, pound for pound it's one of the most powerful cars on the street. Caparo just took the wraps off its production-ready T1 at the London Salon Privé at the prestigious Hurlingham Club, where final details on pricing, availability and a new sales and service network are expected to be announced shortly.
