Street Legal Plug-In Race Car?

[Rodster]

This news item came into my in box this morning. Italian car maker Predator Ltd. announced the PC010 ST "street legal race car." Hybrid or electric.

Think about this - 180 MPH / 0 to 60 in 3 seconds capability on your interstate...

Alas, it is just a dream so far. But -- Price tag: $20,000 in kit form, $23,000 completed car.

Might be something to look forward to, after we complete our kits. . .

Interesting... but something odd about driving down the highway, looking at the lane next to you, and seeing an F1 car cruising past you.

Before I started on my first of 15 ffr cars it has always been a dream of mine to create a Indycar for the street. I figured I could do pop up headlights in the front wing and go with a V6 to keep the driveline shorter. I now wish I had splashed molds off of all the bodypanels when I had my real indycar. Maybe someday I'll still pull it off.

I love the idea.

With FFRs link to Ford Racing maybe Factory Five could produce a street/track machine with Ford since they have not moved the street Formula Ford Ecoboost street car forward. It could be a WIN/WIN/WIN for Ford/Factory-Five-Racing/Us. Might not be electric, but sure would be fun!



This Lemans concept caught my eye back when the 818 was under development. Perhaps someone will adapt a body like this to the 818R to create a neck straining track killer:

They could be made gas or electric just like the current 818S and 818R.
