CAR Assembled in Cuckfield... and what a car!

With acceleration 0 to 60mph in 3.5secs this "made in Cuckfield" monster boasts more electronics than any top of the range production car. You are looking at a PC here with solid state hard drive -- just one of 4 microprocessors in this beast. One is for the G-force meter. All data goes to the PC including a video camera. So you will know exactly how much G you were pulling as you end up in the gravel trap. Fully race compliant you will also see this car on Cuckfield's roads en route to race track days.
http://www.megabusa.co.uk/ is a compulsive site for all petrol heads to follow the progress of this supercar.
