  | WCF Testdrive: Caparo T1 Caparo T1 Caparo T1 Text by Nick Hall June 29, 2007  Revolution at every turn A Formula One car for the road is about as tired a phrase as you’re likely to hear in the annals of supercar history. Every time I hear the phase only to be presented with a 300bhp, one tonne piece of wishful thinking my teeth grate, a chill heads down my spine and a little part of me dies inside. With a genuine 3g of lateral force trying to push my face down into the fast moving tarmac beneath like some equally clichéd movie villain, though, before the full-on assault of a sledgehammer blow to the back there was only way to describe the forces at work inside the Caparo T1. It’s like, well, a Formula One car for the road. |

| Re: WCF Testdrive: Caparo T1 Terrific car. Too bad they restricted the engine to 10 000 rpms. Also wished they'd used active suspensions and active aerodynamics along with carbon brakes. That would have pushed g-forces to 6G like F1 cars at Suzuka's 130R.  |
