Went to the newsagents to get my paper as usual this morning on the way to work, and caught a glimpse of what I thought was a Puma on the cover of a mag.
It was indeed a Puma, the mag is 'Track and Race Cars'. Never seen the name before but bought it as it had a Puma inside
Anyway, it has around 650bhp, can do 190mph and gets to 60 in under 2secs, thanks to a RS200 engine :shock:
Crackers eh?!!
Anyone seen it??

Extract from feature:-
"Quartz Body Shop, in Newbury, who did the excellent paintwork, told me that grey covered well and therefore needed less paint. Less paint equals less weight!"

I like that theory
I expect it'll be a car that wears a Puma skin rather than a modified Puma...so it won't be a case of 'how much would it cost for me to mod mine to the same?'

The paint cost a wee few thousand IIRC as it is a special 'light' paint rather then any paint applied thinly. It is an awsome car in the flesh, I last saw it at Brighton speed trials. Unfortunealy when I did the Hill Climb Mike was not competing that day as they were at a national event in the UK oh and rumoured total cost is in excess of £800k :shock:
here is a video clip warning 14.7Mb video the speed was 10.24 1/4 mile cause of my crappy videoing I chopped the last bit off
