Be sure to watch the movie. This thing is awesome, if he only really got on the throttle...

I've built a turboed 225kw 540kg 20V Toyota / lotus 7 replica. Pretty sure I'd rather be strapped in even if the safety is only an illusion

I know, it doesn't seem like you could corner too fast or accelerate too hard for fear of flying off. I've ridden our team's Clean Sled, it's balls to the wall fast. I damn near slid right off the back. At the very least you'd think it would be uncomfortable to lean, (I'm pretty sure you'd have to so as not to fly off) and not have the car lean as well.

None the less, though, that thing is awesome. I love it when he goes right from the road to his yard and at about 9mins when he tears the shit out of that poor field.

1. I really don't see any purpose for these types of vehicles other than to try to kill yourself as quick as possible.

2. If I'd get one, I'd get the BMW powered production version

Lol, that thing looks like it has a robot face.
