It doesn't exist due to the upkeep cost, due to the 19k rpm, these motor only last one or 2 races, so an engine rebuilt is required every 1000 miles or so.

They should make one, is just money, a few people in this world can afford it and want it.

The Caparo T1 is the closest thing right now.

Imagine how the neighbours would HATE you everytime you left. The fist wagging would be epic.

Coffee + sick exhaust noise + hard acceleration and speed hypes me up like crazy in the morning.
