Oh, oh, seems like they still might have some work to do on realiability. Jason Plato [erstwhile real race car driver and TV presenter] just had a little mishap testing one for his 5th Gear TV show.

I wanna see a T1 vs. McLaren F1 drag race. That would be ridiculous.

McLaren F1 is my fav. car of all time. is Gordon Murray involved with the T1? He's the man.

Did kind of feel let down by the McLaren Mercedes SLR, but I blame benz more than McLaren for that.

This is a nice comeback.

That would not be a pretty race, bud. Better race would be this vs. the Veyron.

and, Gordon Murray is more than just "involved" with this car.. he is the director.

Press release...

MET POLICE - RAPID RESPONSE VEHICLE

Getaway drivers and outside lane lovers beware! The Met Police has a teamed up with Brit supercar manufacturer, Caparo, to conceive a brand new Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV) for the future – on show at MPH ’07 this weekend.

Capable of accelerating from a Police lay-by to 100mph in just 5 seconds and onto a top speed of 200mph, the Caparo T1 RRV would be deployed to hunt down car criminals within the M25.

Like everything else in the Met Police’s armoury, this bespoke RRV is intended as a deterrent. Just check your mirrors next time you fancy breaking the speed limit!
