If you're looking at this picture and don't have any idea what this is or who would drive such a thing, here's an update.
This is the new KTM X-Bow. A car you'd probably throw into the same category as the Caterham, but don't be fooled by it's looks!
Yes, although you need a helmet to drive this thing, meaning you won't feel the wind in your hair(dammit...), you'll quickly see why you need it!
The thing is, bigger isn't always better. There has to be a balance. you can't put a V12 Ferrari engine in a car that weighs less than 400 kg, if you get what I'm saying here. The weight of the car is as important as the power. So, don't even think of putting that old Porsche engine in your new go kart! You're GOONA DIE!
What KTM have done here, is perfectly balanced. Light car, powerful enough engine, thus not ripping your face off when you put your foot down, but just gently giving you goosebumps.
I'd say, good job guys!
