This could kick the Veyron's powerful butt:
Caparo
200 MPH + dependant on the optional cockpit canopy and downforce set up
0-60 less than 2.5 secs
0-100 less than 5.0 secs
0-100-0 less than 10.0 secs
Capable of cornering and Braking at more than 3g
Lighter than a caterham with double the power to weight ratio of the Veyron.
2.4 litre supercharged V8 delivering 500bhp at 10500 rpm
1000 bhp per tonne
Brochure
70 litre tank with a 500mile range
And it's going to be made in the UK

Yep. It's going to be a monster, the guys behind this worked with Gordon Murray and whilst I'm not sold on the looks it's going to be a total monster to drive.

That imo is a fantasy car, and won't reach "mass" production imho. The veyron is a world wide production car compared to that. But nice dream....
. There is a good article on the T1 in the last issue of Car magazine.
