@boognish: Some guy in Washington made a similar 2.4L V8 based off of a Hayabusa engine, which he already put in his Caterham, and someone else put on in an Atom: [www.h1v8.com]

My Hummer is still hungry.

The way I see it, the added length over a 'normal' Mini just makes mating a high-output engine of your choice to the rear axle an easier task.

sssssssssssssssssssssssssssswe...

What is that black hatch that flies past at 1:40 from the end?

Flat black looks bad if the following criteria are not met:

First hoons of the seventh continent?

I'd drive it.

Blue 1977 Chevy G10 van, hehe.

Meh, the front end's shaper, more angular line don't really match the rear-end's smoother, more bulbous shape.

Well, you can keep the team that designed the GT and MAYBE the new Mustang if you beg hard enough. Oh wait, nevermind....the latter has a live axle, so scratch that part. Thanks.

@Dr.Danger: Yeah, I thought the same thing....Peugeot-style sweeping headlights are getting copied left and right.

I had a subscription to PM for a while, but dropped it as soon as I 'discovered' Popular Science. They actually explain technologies that are feasible/current, as opposed to unspecifically describing some new thing that looks great on paper. And I could do without a home improvement article every month on how to do…

@TechnoDestructo: No offense, but I'm surprised that people were fooled by that. :o
