It's a great fun car to drive but is renowned for having an interesting gearbox, although in many ways ahead of it's time, but due to the motor controlled clutch and gear selector being fairly new it is slow off the start and the semi-automatic gear change causes the car to be a bit unpredictable with few people driving it in full automatic mode... although semi auto helps you are never quite in control of the clutch. However, the car looks great, and the feeling of being wrapped in the confined cockpit makes you feel a part of the experience. The petrol engine has a great power to cc ratio providing up to 80BHP from a 698cc engine (100BHP with the Brabus), scaled up that's better than most modern cars.
What would it be like as an electric car... perhaps with the light weigh and small space this is what it always should have been. I guess I'll find out.
But enough of the car, I won't be doing anything to it for a while as the intention is to get the running subframe finished first.
