Looks like it could be an even more hardcore track car than the Elise and probably not fit for a daily driver. Doesn't matter. Nothing even remotely close to that would ever make it to the US anyway. That thing has gotta be hella fast though. 270 hp and <1900lbs. DAMN!

Sweet, Definitely a dedicated track car, but one that I like nonetheless.

hahahahaha^ . Id love to see this car with a revamped version of the 1.8V6 that mazda made some years back. Updated with VVT and DI with a small turbo would make this car very unique. A guy can dream right....

410 aluminum block Sprint cars weigh anywhere from 1200 to 1300 lbs and have over 800+ hp.

You should watch those on a track ^_^

I love the concept behind this car- light weight and power. Sad, that this will probably be a track car only for people in Japan.
