\nSays Climax Cars<\/a> of its Sports Racer, “We wanted to produce a radically different type of car that would be dramatically desirable as well as being an out-and-out enthusiast’s car.” Done and done. Consider us smitten. We love the classically British Jaguar-esque shape and will gladly park one in our Fantasy Garage in an appropriate shade of Racing Green.<\/p>\n

This latest object of our desire (and we reserve the right to add to our lust list at any given time) packs up to 450 horsepower – courtesy of a supercharged 4.6-liter Ford Racing V8 – in a car that weighs just 1,999 pounds (907 kilograms). That’s a power-to-weight ratio of… carry the one, move the decimal point… about 450 horsepower per ton! Acceleration, thy name is Climax Sports Racer.<\/p>\n

Fully-adjustable double-wishbone suspension at all four corners, ceramic brakes and a six-speed sequential Graziano GT ME1 gearbox ought to ensure suitable track-day performance cred while the expected £92,000 (about $150,000) asking price undercuts the Ariel Atom<\/a> V8 by £30,000 and the Caparo T1<\/a> by over £60,000. Only 200 are planned and there’s no word on if there will ever be U.S. availability. Looks like we’re moving to Britain.<\/p>\n
