x2010 doesn't have the ribbed vents rear of the driver seat. The front fenders on the x2010 go all the way around the front wheels, which is clearly not present in the video.
@JayJ2K10Cpcheats I beg to differ. The Caparo has working lights, full fenders, turn signals, full harness retraints, meets sound and emission restrictions in US. and Europe, uses street tires, more than adequate braking system considering it's 0 -100 - 0 fastest accelerating and braking ever in a road car. I think you are going by what Top Gear uses as a benchmark that it can't clear a speed bump so it's not road worthy. They have hydralics now so now that issue is now mute.
Well one who cares what jeremy says, he's an entertainer end of story and thier opinions are just that ... opinions. From what i understand they didn't drive the final version so who knows if they tweaked and made it more controllable, and it doesn't matter how you put it, that's way too much power/weight for the road. It's a race car and just plain dangerous. Yet ... beautiful.
yep if u have ever driven a wings and slicks open wheeler you will find it quite scary to be able to drive quick at first. it takes quite a while to get use to the airo only working above a certain speed. and some people can not do that. i think he had every right to bag the car its not very practical like that where other cars have the mechanical grip to keep u from spining
The start of the clip shows the car driving out from the caparo vehicle technologies offices in basingstoke, hampshire. I remember seeing the car driving around when they were first testing it and thinking WTF?!! Beautiful sounding car.
clarkson, but more importantly, the mclaren engineers who designed and built that car. the t1 was designed in a wind tunnel. therefore the aerodynamics are rendered useless at low speed or if the shape is compromised. and as the aerodynamics of this car provide the grip and in turn the heat in the tyres and breaks, jezza was right.
I've never said anything bad about the Caparo, it's the best handling production car ever made, but I don't like Jermey for shitting on the car just because he's not good enough to drive it good, I know a guy named Martin that has tested this car, and he couldnt understand what Jerémy was talking about. This car handles great at all speeds, it just shines more at high speeds. And no, more weight would not make this car handle better at slower speeds, because of centrifugal force.
i didnt mention anything about the weight of the car. also, it's centripetal force; not cenrtifugal. only commoners and people who dont know anything about physics call it centrifugal force
ok. acceleration is defined as change in velocity and velocity is a vector quantity because it has direction. changing direction e.g. spinning, changes velocity. a centrifuge is primarily used to separate different materials according to density. it does this by putting it under constant acceleration for a length of time. the force felt by the materials is known as centripetal force, but because it's main application is with biological scientists, centripetal became centrifugal
If you are going to say I'm an idiot, please also consider this, Another car with about the same weight as the T1, the Westfield XTR 2 or even the Radical SR3 handled perfect according to the drivers on Top Gear, then the handling can't have to do with weight. And aerodynamics never works against a car, then the handling problems must be caused by something else, power/weight. This car has so much power/weight and probably a vicious throttle response that makes it very hard to drive.
Just a funny fact: This and the Radical sr8 LM is the first road cars ever to reach a power/weight ratio equaling he power/weight of a superbike. So this car is pretty much like the car worlds gsxr1000, R1, 1198s, fireblade, desmo 16 and so on. I really like this concept, a lot... The concept of achieving a big power/weight ratio is the best concept when trying to build a supercar. But really, the concept of a supercar for the road is quite silly though, you never be able to use all the power.
Throughout the whole video I could only see the back of the CAPARO. Probably you do have super vision to see things that are not shown in videos. Well if that's not a Caparo then what would that be? The rear fins were already giving it away. Anyway it doesn't really matter.
Its amazing how many people you get working in automotive engineering and car research leaving comments on videos. i didnt even know there was that many people employed in that sector.
The major problem I have seen with the veyron is that, even though it is the fastest, every owner talks about how "tame" and "controlled" it is at high speeds. I guess that's alright if you can't drive properly at those speeds, but I'd rather have something that was slower, but made me feel like I was about to die. That's where the excitement was in the McLaren F1, at any second, between the speed, the noise, ant the light feel of the car, you felt inches from death all the time.
Think like this, that car looks as much as a Formula 1 as any superbike looks like a moto GP bike, now you don't think they look funny on the road, do you? :D
THIS WILL ANIHALTE ANY ROAD LEGAL CAR IN THE WORLD INCLUDING THE VEYRON AND ULTIMA, IN A DRAG RACE AND AROUND A TRACK !
i wish they would release more news on the brabus tkr , when released it will be fastest car in the world 286 mph and 0-60 in 1.6, dont think it will out accelerate this thogh just do it on top end
ultima is 650 bhp per ton. Caparo is over 1k bhp per ton. \Also the veyron is only .04 seconds quicker 0-60. The caparo is .5 seconds quicker to 100mph. The caparo pulls 3g. I'd be willing to bet a caparo would do the ring at the very least 40 seconds faster than a veyron. The veyron is a different class of car. Ultima gtr is in the same class but caparo is faster.
really so you think the veyron, ultima and caparo are in the same class? Thats interesting because the veyron seems to be built around comfort quite a bit more than the caparo or ultima. The veyron is a much more drivable car than the caparo or ultima. Yes 40 seconds. It pulls 3 times the g force in the corners as a veyron and it did a lap on top gears track 8 seconds faster than a enzo. It was 7 seconds faster than the fastest car they had ever tested.
Not only that a veyron is a pig. It weighs in at 4k lbs. It barely pulls a g on the skidpad. It's not a track car it's a top speed car built around drivability. You are talking about two different classes of sports cars for two completely different audiences. People actualy looking to purchase a car of this magnitude wouldn't compare a veyron to the caparo because they have next to nothing in common besides the fact that they are both sports cars.
silly discussion. comparing veyron to caparo is like comparing relative merits of orange and apple. they're different kinds of cars. veyron is at least a road "worthy" supercar and caparo is basically a race car made barely street legal. of course a racecar will be faster and quicker while a road car will be more functional off track.
How can you even compare times between the caparo and the veyron? The caparo weighs fuck all (like 550kg or something), has a steering wheel, some pedals and a race harness with a big assed engine. The veyron weighs nearly 2 tones, has air con, and other luxury's that you find in more prestige cars, yet the caparo is .04 seconds quicker to 0-60, sounds a bit wet to me for a car that weighs pretty much nothing. I work in motor research so please don't come back saying i'm talking crap
ugh... Please read all my arguements. Also the veyron is faster 0-60. So you work in motor research... Not only do I doubt that, but question what that has to do with anything. This whole conversation is just bench racing. Your comparing statistics just like everyone it's not like you've driven the two and have an actual comparison. On top of that what kind of motor research have you done? I created and tuned the 3rd fastest stock block based honda prelude and have a vid on here to prove it.
the veyron is faster 0-60 ? are you real the caparo has twice yes twice the power to weight ratio of the bugatti go drive them both then come talk to me about physics numpty!
Your a complete dolt.. 0-60 isn't about power to weight when your talking about that kind of brake hp. It's about applying the power donkey nuts. Ok lets see here 1000hp 4k lbs sitting on it 365's in the rear and 245 front and all four wheels propelling the car vs the caparo's only rwd 290's and only 1100 lbs. Yeah that sounds like a burnout machine to me. Yeah it makes complete physical sense but you just don't know what the hell your talking about. Be gone noob
Im a noob ? Ok did you forget to mention that a car that is 1/4 the weight of the bugatti requires less downforce and traction to propel the car forwards without causing the real wheels to spin its all down to something called inertia in sir isaac newtons words, The innate force of matter is the power of resisting, by which every body, as much as in it lies, endeavors to preserve in its present state.
Which the bugatti has bags of but you already knew that right ?
Down force has nothing to do with a traction below 60mph you ingrate. Thanks for bringing a point to the table that has absolutely no relevance to our arguement you punter. Be gone noob!
First off downforce applys not only to air pressure on front or rear wings but to the ballast weight on the car ie you could have no tyres on the car meaning virtually no traction yet huge downforce with a 3 ton weight on the top of them
Secondly i dont use wikipedia as it doesnt always have factual infomation as it can be edited by the likes of you
Thirdly was that an after thought because you made a separate post
And lastly you compleatly failed to justify your argument
lol.. I failed to justify my arguement? I must be speaking with someone who is mentally retarded. Arguements need to be justified if your argueing just be argueing. I'm proving a point, not justifying arguements. Your talking about wind resistance on 2 cars that have so much brake hp below 60mph wind resistance might factor in .000001 second.
Every statment i have made i have justifyed myself you seem unable to do so yourself
You are so saturated in your belief that you are correct you are blind to the fact you are unable to defend your statements give me some evidence and i will defend myself appropreately
What do you want me to justify? I have absolutely no idea what the hell your even talking about. BTW, what exactly is it that you do? Your 19 yrs old... I've built 3 cars out of my garage and helped all my freinds build theres. I know more about any subject relating to a car than you can even fathom. Your just a turd.
First off im 22 and i dont care how many cars youve built what are you qualified in exacally ? sod all probally you have no idea who i am what i know or what i dont and you seem to think i know nothing WTF is that based on ...o yeh it doesnt matter how heavy the car is when its got lots of horsepower its about how it puts the power down BS
I would never ever ever build a car WHY? because no matter how good you think you are you are no match for the billion dollar motorsports industry
I don't really care anymore. The billion dollar motorsports industry doesn't try and build the fastest possible car. They try and build an out of the box vehicle you can drive around and never have to bring back to the factory for repairs. It's about profit margin's and sales. Also yes it does matter about how heavy the car is. Building a car is an art. It's taking the best from every catagory and putting it together to make your own creation that outperforms itself 10 fold. ps you suck balls
you're full of horse crap. the billion dollar motorsports industry is trying to build the fastest and most powerfulest car on the planet. the forerunners are the buguatti veyronn, the koenigsegg ccxr, and the caparo t1.
Actually they are trying to maximize profit margins. If you knew anything about business management you'd know that. They are trying to pair speed with reliability. If they were trying to build the fastest most powerful car don't you think every viper would come stock with heffner twin turbos? Every f430 would have a novitec sc. Every tt porsche would have a promotive tt kit. It only costs an extra couple grand. btw powerfulest is not a word you dunse.
lol, I love the last ditch effort of a youtuber in the wrong. Take a step back on the last hair of an arguement and critique spelling ability on a youtube commenting board. lol, What a tool.
Second your statement is word for word right out of wikipedia. I simply copied and pasted your statement into google. The first link that came back was a wikipedia article word for word. After the 2nd pass on reading your off the wall reply I made the assumption that someone that can assemble words at this level couldn't possibly be this retarded. Well it seems I proved myself right. Lets try this again, be gone simpleton. Your making yourself look even more rediculous.
First off all it wasnt a statement it was a quote and a quote will be included numorus websites that include those words so is it not surprising that it came up in your search.
Secondly if you read my aurguments i never said wind resistance was a factor.
Thirdly you seem to think that your abilty to work on an engine gives you the right to give a lecture on the laws of motion you never once mentioned torque which is of huge importance when considering traction.
Quite your bitching you big baby The original arguement is done and over. 0-60 veyron is faster because it can apply the power to the ground which was a factor you didn't even consider in your original statement. You simply considered power to weight ratio and then you finished it off with calling me a numpty. Which I think is kind of funny and ironic as your statement held absolutely no weight. fyi I build entire cars I don't just build engines as well as do all the work myself.
The Caparo T1 accelerates faster. 0-60 in less than 2.5 seconds. The Veyron does it in 2.6-2.7. 0-100 is 5 and 5.5 seconds T1 and Veyron respectively. These cars should not be compared though since the T1 will smoke anything on a track and the Veyron is built as a fast, luxury cruiser.
Thanks for the late breaking news about the comparisons. Maybe if you read my posts earlier you would know that. Anyways your figures are off. The veyron is faster 0-60.
The Veyron posts between 2.6 and 2.8seconds 0-60. The Caparo T1 has a claim of less than 2.5 seconds which is faster but not official. So where do you come up with the Veyron being faster?
I mean honestly... what is your point? What the F are you even talking about.. Your like off in your own little 19 year old world. Your like so many douchebaggs that are out at the street races.. talk talk talk talk talk.. shut your mouth and build something.
lol, you've really taken a liking to spelling and grammar correction. Talk about a track off into the dark. Last I checked this was a video about CARS. The last thing on my mind on a youtube forum is my spelling and grammar. At least I'm not on a spelling forum attempting to call people out on spelling. You on the other hand can't seem to take the least amount of knowledge from someone with MUCH more experience than yourself. What a turd you are.
i actually just went back and checked the f1's lateral g capabilities. i misinterpreted the information... i've been walking around for years thinking f1 cars are only capable of less than 2 g's. forget about the question. i still have a little bit of doubt regarding the 3+ g's on road tires though. that would absolutely demolish the 1000kg ultimas 1.178 g's that set the record a few years back. maybe that claim is with track tires? i can't help but be skeptical.
You can. The one Top Gear tested (I'm assuming this is how you know this) isn't the same as the one being released. Caparo's released version *can* go over speed bumps.
p.s. u dont buy this car to go to work or have a coffee. being street legal means that u can get it out of ur probably luxurious and filled with supercars garage to drive to the track without having to call a truck to get u there..the guy in the video was probably doing the same thing..magnesium race alloys react badly to bumps..lol
Guys, those of u who have no proof whatsoever about this car and how it handles, and its specs and everything, shut up...ive been in one of those in a track, and i threw up on the drivers shoulder after the second turn...i was "only" at 2.1 G's around the last turn..it has a screen on its steering wheel that infroms u about g's and stuff like that..its insane..we did 160mph in 5 seconds...find another car that can do that without crashing on the upcoming turn..
from a performance standpoint, the caparo is by far my favorite car. since you seem to know your information, i'd like to ask you a question. i see that people all over the net claim 3+g's on the skidpad. from what i understand, f1 cars pull somewhere around 1.8g's with huge slicks and tremendous downforce. how can the caparo pull 3+ g's on d.o.t approved tires? no reliable sources have verified these claims... i'm not trying to be a dick, i just want to understand how this is possible.
Hardly even a comparison. I don't see any specs for that car that say it can even pull 1g, let alone 3. I also see nothing about a 275mph top speed. Granted, over 200mph is hoped for (from the factory as quoted by Al Melling himself). Stop pulling numbers out of your ass.
how are they not dead... they went around a corner in it... shocking...
either way, to use something like that on the road is just silly... unless the road is made of racing track tarmac and is perfectly straight or with very highspeed bends... otherwise the aerodynamics of it won't work properly...
hey chill out man, he might have a ccx at home and he probably is on his way to a track. i mean you can't really say no to a guy offering you a t1 for a day now can you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The person driving that Caparo is probably dead. It cant go around corners. It is a nightmare to handle and falls apart and catches fire if it goes over 100mph.
Second actually. The SSC Ultimate Aero has 1183bhp and weighs 1170kg so just squeezes over the magic 1000bhp/ton as well. It's calculated to have a top speed of 273mph and recently managed 230 on only half throttle.
Yah they are really not the most reliable. I watch F1 like its the only way to stay alive and they are not reliable. Hell most the parts only last 1-2 races.
if a caparo t1 cant go over a speedbump it won't even get out of its garage.
Fuck that, topgear.

ultima is 650 bhp per ton. Caparo is over 1k bhp per ton. \Also the veyron is only .04 seconds quicker 0-60. The caparo is .5 seconds quicker to 100mph. The caparo pulls 3g. I'd be willing to bet a caparo would do the ring at the very least 40 seconds faster than a veyron. The veyron is a different class of car. Ultima gtr is in the same class but caparo is faster.
e46driv3r 3 years ago
What the hell 40 seconds please. What are u talking about different classes. THeres no special class that gtr and caparo is in
sesarathor 3 years ago
really so you think the veyron, ultima and caparo are in the same class? Thats interesting because the veyron seems to be built around comfort quite a bit more than the caparo or ultima. The veyron is a much more drivable car than the caparo or ultima. Yes 40 seconds. It pulls 3 times the g force in the corners as a veyron and it did a lap on top gears track 8 seconds faster than a enzo. It was 7 seconds faster than the fastest car they had ever tested.
e46driv3r 3 years ago
Only street legal. The aston martin Dbr9 was 2 seconds faster and the for mula 1 car was 11 seconds faster.
sesarathor 3 years ago
I was under the impression our debate was about production vehicles... You've made it apparent your just an arguementative tool.
e46driv3r 3 years ago
you said FASTEST CAR EVER TESTED im not trying to argue idiot
sesarathor 3 years ago
Not only that a veyron is a pig. It weighs in at 4k lbs. It barely pulls a g on the skidpad. It's not a track car it's a top speed car built around drivability. You are talking about two different classes of sports cars for two completely different audiences. People actualy looking to purchase a car of this magnitude wouldn't compare a veyron to the caparo because they have next to nothing in common besides the fact that they are both sports cars.
e46driv3r 3 years ago
silly discussion. comparing veyron to caparo is like comparing relative merits of orange and apple. they're different kinds of cars. veyron is at least a road "worthy" supercar and caparo is basically a race car made barely street legal. of course a racecar will be faster and quicker while a road car will be more functional off track.
bluemonolith88 3 years ago
Thank you for reiterating what I've been saying this entire time
e46driv3r 3 years ago
How can you even compare times between the caparo and the veyron? The caparo weighs fuck all (like 550kg or something), has a steering wheel, some pedals and a race harness with a big assed engine. The veyron weighs nearly 2 tones, has air con, and other luxury's that you find in more prestige cars, yet the caparo is .04 seconds quicker to 0-60, sounds a bit wet to me for a car that weighs pretty much nothing. I work in motor research so please don't come back saying i'm talking crap
daleo360 3 years ago
ugh... Please read all my arguements. Also the veyron is faster 0-60. So you work in motor research... Not only do I doubt that, but question what that has to do with anything. This whole conversation is just bench racing. Your comparing statistics just like everyone it's not like you've driven the two and have an actual comparison. On top of that what kind of motor research have you done? I created and tuned the 3rd fastest stock block based honda prelude and have a vid on here to prove it.
e46driv3r 3 years ago
the veyron is faster 0-60 ? are you real the caparo has twice yes twice the power to weight ratio of the bugatti go drive them both then come talk to me about physics numpty!
Kevinmwragg 3 years ago
Your a complete dolt.. 0-60 isn't about power to weight when your talking about that kind of brake hp. It's about applying the power donkey nuts. Ok lets see here 1000hp 4k lbs sitting on it 365's in the rear and 245 front and all four wheels propelling the car vs the caparo's only rwd 290's and only 1100 lbs. Yeah that sounds like a burnout machine to me. Yeah it makes complete physical sense but you just don't know what the hell your talking about. Be gone noob
e46driv3r 3 years ago
Im a noob ? Ok did you forget to mention that a car that is 1/4 the weight of the bugatti requires less downforce and traction to propel the car forwards without causing the real wheels to spin its all down to something called inertia in sir isaac newtons words, The innate force of matter is the power of resisting, by which every body, as much as in it lies, endeavors to preserve in its present state.
Which the bugatti has bags of but you already knew that right ?
Kevinmwragg 3 years ago
Down force has nothing to do with a traction below 60mph you ingrate. Thanks for bringing a point to the table that has absolutely no relevance to our arguement you punter. Be gone noob!
e46driv3r 3 years ago
And your even more of a n00b as you've copied and pasted newtons law directly from Wikipedia. LOL
e46driv3r 3 years ago
First off downforce applys not only to air pressure on front or rear wings but to the ballast weight on the car ie you could have no tyres on the car meaning virtually no traction yet huge downforce with a 3 ton weight on the top of them
Secondly i dont use wikipedia as it doesnt always have factual infomation as it can be edited by the likes of you
Thirdly was that an after thought because you made a separate post
And lastly you compleatly failed to justify your argument
Kevinmwragg 3 years ago
lol.. I failed to justify my arguement? I must be speaking with someone who is mentally retarded. Arguements need to be justified if your argueing just be argueing. I'm proving a point, not justifying arguements. Your talking about wind resistance on 2 cars that have so much brake hp below 60mph wind resistance might factor in .000001 second.
e46driv3r 3 years ago
Every statment i have made i have justifyed myself you seem unable to do so yourself
You are so saturated in your belief that you are correct you are blind to the fact you are unable to defend your statements give me some evidence and i will defend myself appropreately
Kevinmwragg 3 years ago
What do you want me to justify? I have absolutely no idea what the hell your even talking about. BTW, what exactly is it that you do? Your 19 yrs old... I've built 3 cars out of my garage and helped all my freinds build theres. I know more about any subject relating to a car than you can even fathom. Your just a turd.
e46driv3r 3 years ago
First off im 22 and i dont care how many cars youve built what are you qualified in exacally ? sod all probally you have no idea who i am what i know or what i dont and you seem to think i know nothing WTF is that based on ...o yeh it doesnt matter how heavy the car is when its got lots of horsepower its about how it puts the power down BS
I would never ever ever build a car WHY? because no matter how good you think you are you are no match for the billion dollar motorsports industry
Kevinmwragg 3 years ago
I don't really care anymore. The billion dollar motorsports industry doesn't try and build the fastest possible car. They try and build an out of the box vehicle you can drive around and never have to bring back to the factory for repairs. It's about profit margin's and sales. Also yes it does matter about how heavy the car is. Building a car is an art. It's taking the best from every catagory and putting it together to make your own creation that outperforms itself 10 fold. ps you suck balls
e46driv3r 3 years ago
you're full of horse crap. the billion dollar motorsports industry is trying to build the fastest and most powerfulest car on the planet. the forerunners are the buguatti veyronn, the koenigsegg ccxr, and the caparo t1.
tinramm 3 years ago
Actually they are trying to maximize profit margins. If you knew anything about business management you'd know that. They are trying to pair speed with reliability. If they were trying to build the fastest most powerful car don't you think every viper would come stock with heffner twin turbos? Every f430 would have a novitec sc. Every tt porsche would have a promotive tt kit. It only costs an extra couple grand. btw powerfulest is not a word you dunse.
e46driv3r 3 years ago 2

e46driv3r 3 years ago 2
Second your statement is word for word right out of wikipedia. I simply copied and pasted your statement into google. The first link that came back was a wikipedia article word for word. After the 2nd pass on reading your off the wall reply I made the assumption that someone that can assemble words at this level couldn't possibly be this retarded. Well it seems I proved myself right. Lets try this again, be gone simpleton. Your making yourself look even more rediculous.
e46driv3r 3 years ago
First off all it wasnt a statement it was a quote and a quote will be included numorus websites that include those words so is it not surprising that it came up in your search.
Secondly if you read my aurguments i never said wind resistance was a factor.
Thirdly you seem to think that your abilty to work on an engine gives you the right to give a lecture on the laws of motion you never once mentioned torque which is of huge importance when considering traction.
Kevinmwragg 3 years ago
Quite your bitching you big baby The original arguement is done and over. 0-60 veyron is faster because it can apply the power to the ground which was a factor you didn't even consider in your original statement. You simply considered power to weight ratio and then you finished it off with calling me a numpty. Which I think is kind of funny and ironic as your statement held absolutely no weight. fyi I build entire cars I don't just build engines as well as do all the work myself.
e46driv3r 3 years ago
The Caparo T1 accelerates faster. 0-60 in less than 2.5 seconds. The Veyron does it in 2.6-2.7. 0-100 is 5 and 5.5 seconds T1 and Veyron respectively. These cars should not be compared though since the T1 will smoke anything on a track and the Veyron is built as a fast, luxury cruiser.
TheOfficialKC 3 years ago 2
Thanks for the late breaking news about the comparisons. Maybe if you read my posts earlier you would know that. Anyways your figures are off. The veyron is faster 0-60.
e46driv3r 3 years ago
The Veyron posts between 2.6 and 2.8seconds 0-60. The Caparo T1 has a claim of less than 2.5 seconds which is faster but not official. So where do you come up with the Veyron being faster?
TheOfficialKC 3 years ago
I mean honestly... what is your point? What the F are you even talking about.. Your like off in your own little 19 year old world. Your like so many douchebaggs that are out at the street races.. talk talk talk talk talk.. shut your mouth and build something.

The last thing on my mind on a youtube forum is my spelling and grammar. At least I'm not on a spelling forum attempting to call people out on spelling. You on the other hand can't seem to take the least amount of knowledge from someone with MUCH more experience than yourself. What a turd you are.

i actually just went back and checked the f1's lateral g capabilities. i misinterpreted the information... i've been walking around for years thinking f1 cars are only capable of less than 2 g's. forget about the question. i still have a little bit of doubt regarding the 3+ g's on road tires though. that would absolutely demolish the 1000kg ultimas 1.178 g's that set the record a few years back. maybe that claim is with track tires? i can't help but be skeptical.

You can. The one Top Gear tested (I'm assuming this is how you know this) isn't the same as the one being released. Caparo's released version *can* go over speed bumps.

Guys, those of u who have no proof whatsoever about this car and how it handles, and its specs and everything, shut up...ive been in one of those in a track, and i threw up on the drivers shoulder after the second turn...i was "only" at 2.1 G's around the last turn..it has a screen on its steering wheel that infroms u about g's and stuff like that..its insane..we did 160mph in 5 seconds...find another car that can do that without crashing on the upcoming turn..

from a performance standpoint, the caparo is by far my favorite car. since you seem to know your information, i'd like to ask you a question. i see that people all over the net claim 3+g's on the skidpad. from what i understand, f1 cars pull somewhere around 1.8g's with huge slicks and tremendous downforce. how can the caparo pull 3+ g's on d.o.t approved tires? no reliable sources have verified these claims... i'm not trying to be a dick, i just want to understand how this is possible.

Hardly even a comparison. I don't see any specs for that car that say it can even pull 1g, let alone 3. I also see nothing about a 275mph top speed. Granted, over 200mph is hoped for (from the factory as quoted by Al Melling himself). Stop pulling numbers out of your ass.

The person driving that Caparo is probably dead. It cant go around corners. It is a nightmare to handle and falls apart and catches fire if it goes over 100mph.

Second actually. The SSC Ultimate Aero has 1183bhp and weighs 1170kg so just squeezes over the magic 1000bhp/ton as well. It's calculated to have a top speed of 273mph and recently managed 230 on only half throttle.
