very cool. I think the 1198 engine, with its added torque, would have been a better choice in a car , however. I doubt it will cross the Pond though....

What a great looking car!

Weight is the enemy here.

Power to weight is not good.

Needs more grunt, maybe two Duc engines?

That would be closer to the mark.

All wheel drive with a motor front and back with a viscous coupling in between to even the drive out.

Just a thought.
