Boy, people sure love building these weird F1/Indy "replicas." I will never understand it, though the thrill level is probably very high for the average non-car person who can't tell the difference. At least it was built on an actual FF chassis...then again, who knows how well the "lengthening" was done.
I would drive it every day...
But then again.. I almost put tags on an old street stock dirt car to drive... Stuff like this would just make the commute more fun...
I say... why not!
There is a guy here in SE michigan that drives one periodically. I have no idea if his is built tha same as this one though. It could scare the ___ out of you if you were in the back.

I'd be terrified of being flattened by some bimbo in a Suburban more than anything else, or taking errant cigarette butts to the face on the freeway. Makes a Miata, or even a motorcycle seem tall and clearly visible by comparison.
what? seeing a street F1 car isn't a normal thing? I see this one at least a couple times a year.

Seems like a bunch of dough for what you get. Single seat would be better and you'd limit the carnage by half.

Really? I've never seen it! But I don't leave Ann Arbor very often.

I've never seen one of these 4 wheel versions, but I have seen a 3 wheel Formula car type thing, 2 front 1 rear a few times around the Woodward corridor. Similar to below, but not the same.

Awesome!
I might actually know the guy with this,he's into lotsa weird stuff.Showed up an autox a couple yrs ago with a street legal formula V followed up the next event with one of those V8 Ferrari engined lancia(I think)saloon thing he imported.
I believe that car was at Bronte last year. Not sure what it had to do wtih Brit cars, but it was there.
I can think of 35,000 reasons why I would not rock that and only about 3,500 why I would.
Besides, it is the equivalent of wearing a clown suit to the prom. Too much "Look at me!"
