really looks like something from Star Wars !! something Darth Vader would drive :p !! seems very fast ..

its good, but not somthing i would buy, if i wanted a car like that, i would be thinking more ariel atom or Exige S

top speed 135 mph?

with a 6 speed transmission? they difnatly have got the gearing all wrong, or the differentials.

weighing just over 1,500 lbs, and have 200 hp and 220 tq it should be able to pull ove better numbers than that

disapointing

Wow, that's pretty nice. Numbers are good, but the top speed could have been a little higher, like CB said. Doesn't an Atom get around 160mph?

Anyway, it looks pretty damn cool, although it would take some convincing for me to choose this over something like an Atom.

why would you want to go over 140 in a go-kart? Would you actually take this thing on the road? It's meant for tight turns and quick acceleration.

there are very few tracks in the world meant for full sized cars in which top speed is only 135 mph.

have fun toping out on a straight half way done it when the other guys are still acclerating right past you

you wouldnt like the feel of staying at 130...you will have more fun if it was way quicker...

now wow, it looks great outside the studio and that 1:3 model, it looks pretty good now, i like it alot...the specs sounds good, but compared to the ariel atom, its too heavy, the atom is like half of that, and the ariel has more option to choose from, this is just no that, but still the specs are weird, its going to be a great car, but speed is going to be a problem

new pics (walpaper size):

wow, it looks very good, i love the those pics..

Isn't this supposed to be an asian car since its from Australia?


Love it, hopefully they bring it here to the US.

Seems like a worthy competitor to all the extreme track cars like the Caterham and Ariel....

^ You're right.
Anyway, some of you might pronounce is at X-Bow instead of Cross-Bow but the real one is Cross Bow. =)

I love it . Its a pretty cool looking car.

hmm the x-bow is looking great so far any word on pricing?

hmmm not bad at all...not bad at all...
