In the latest Road & Track they have an article on the Caparo T1. This car was developed by Gordon Murray and two other former McLaren F1 engineers that worked on the McLaren F1 and Mercedes SLR McLaren. This car promises 1000 hp per ton approximately twice the power-to-weight ratio of the Bugatti Veyron. The motor is a 3.5L Indy-derived all-alloy V-8 rated at 575 bhp. The chassis weighs just 70 lbs! The V-8 weighs just 256 lbs! The target weight for the car is just 450 Kg (995 lbs)
