Go into the Wiki mode:

818 was originally designed by Factory Five as a chassis and a donor based on the Subaru Impreza platform. Great Performance, in a donor package. they then teamed up with GRM (Grass Roots Motorsports. They held a design contest to body the car. The design of the roadster won and was made into the kit you see today. Lots have been built, a whole industry has sprung up in support of the community that builds these cars.

They have since expanded the line to included race and street version as well as a coupe.

818 was made to handle and have power, I would say enjoy, go for it, but it is all Subaru power. Subaru makes a pretty nice product.
