Has everyone seen this yet?

I spotted a blub on it in British Motoring, and was sure that the 2.0L V10 was a typo, but no, it isn't. Really interesting car.

Interesting car, but a v10 that only cranks out 162 HP? The wifes Miata almost does that!

I'll bet the Miata may have a larger displacement. Now the supercharged version in the Syracuse is supposed to be nearer to 300hp. But the wildest thing to me is it being a sports hybrid car. I just can't help but wonder how fiddly an engine with 10 200ml cylanders would be. Especially with extra little bits to give it VVT and Hybrid status.

Darn thing would rev like a motorcycle, though.

42 mpg with the 162 HP.( I assume British gallons) Not bad.

Very interesting... I like the motor, but the car itself could use some better styling. a 2 litre v-10... with the right exhaust, it could sound very close to a f1 car - hehehehehhee. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
