Caparo T1: Your own Street-legal F1 Car

Caparo is not a household brand but just wait until people start spotting their first supercar the Caparo T1 on the streets of London, Dubai, and Monte Carlo. Caparo is the brainchild of two ex-McLaren engineers so they have all qualifications necessary to build one badass supercar. And with the debut of the prototype Caparo T1 it seems like they are on the right track.

As its outrageous styling suggests, the T1 is all business with bodywork styled for functionality above aesthetics, though I think it looks fantastic. The company promises F1 performance in a street legal package, the prototypes are doing 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds which is just insane. Like the latest F1 cars, the T1 uses a 2.4-litre V8, though supercharged and with a lower rev limit for reliability.

Caparo is aiming for the T1 to be the world’s first production car to exceed 1000bhp-per-tonne, that’s twice the amount of a Buggati Veyron the current most powerful and expensive street legal car. So if you have an extra £165,000 or $310,000 sitting around you should seriously consider adding the Caparo T1 to your collection.

It should be available to customers by the end of this year.
