Caparo T1 to blaze the roads soon

Posted June 11, 2007 5:11 PM

From Newlaunches.com:

Caparo T1 is quite an attraction, given its distinctive appearance, astonishing performance capabilities, and British inheritance (designed, developed and built in England). This high performance two-seater sports car goes from 0-60mph in less than 2.5 seconds......faster than Bugatti Veyron and can reach 100mph within five seconds! Weighing in at 500 kg., the T1 is powered by a 2.4L supercharged V8 good for 500 horsepower. With series production about to commence, the car will be built for distinguished customers who are desperate to seek the ultimate track day experience in a road driveable vehicle. In releasing full details of the car's specification, the company has revealed that while customer cars are being readied for start of production, preparations are also well in hand for the T1's first public appearance as a running car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on June 22-24 -which effectively becomes the vehicle's launch date.
