The only bit I don't get is the glass lower door, surely that is heavier than a carbon panel if it was all about extremes?
You can spec it in carbon instead if you wish.

I am 100% with you guys.
This is a proper uncompromising race car which can be used on the road, although sadly I imagine many will simply sit in people's garages on display.
I reckon the wing, whilst functional, is deliberately garish to accentuate this point.
There are much softer designed supercars to appease daily use.
Great filmLooks like they took the P1 then mated it with an Apollo Gumpert.
For comparison. Hmmmm.
the one on the right hand side needs a wing too, but not as extreme as the P15, AAAHH OK so it has a wing on Google...............but we cant afford it so who cares !
if you go above 30k for a Caterham it would be as fast as this (to 100mph) or even one of those Factory Fives with a BB Chevy..................as said, this car isn't for a ``get your hands dirty petrolhead``, i could never chat to an owner of this, i'd be jealous as hell !
it would also be very hard to own if you had the money , because others will give you the same looks as i do..... ``haters will hate``

Not really. 620R is about as quick as a modern Caterham gets. Go look at the numbers for that 0-100 and then something like a McLaren 720, which this car will outpace, probably closer to P1 performance. The issue the Caterham has is putting the power down. I followed one at Donington a couple of weeks back, it's issue when track was cold was both front and rear grip and after 120mph my R8 was hauling it back in. Sure around a lap in the right conditions I would not see where it went, but suspect this would leave it for dead.
