I was going to say something similar, but mine involved a pizza, a kebab, half a loaf of garlic bread, tabouli, a few oysters kilpatrick, then about half a litre of ipecac syrup.

Thats not actually done by Subaru. I believe its built on an impreza chassis by Prodrive. Has some magical differential that'll turn any driver into a pro instantly. Basically all you have to do is put your foot down and hold on.

It does however look like a pile of scaffolding which has fallen down.

It may be ugly, but if it drives half as good as Jeremy says it does, i'd just get really dark tint (to the point where people can't see your face) and make sure its kept in a dark room somewhere so you don't need to look at it when getting in and out of it!

Rofl this is true.. I have to admit if someone were to GIVE me one I wouldn't mind, but I wouldn't be rushing out to buy a new in if it were to go in to production...

Yeah its made by Prodrive and runs an STi engine and chasis like said befor. Prodrive own the Subaru Rally team, Aston Martin endurance and Honda BAR F1 team. It only produces 253kw (345hp) but its incredibly light. I got the episode on my computer and tried to cut the 6 mins on phootage out but cant seem to keep the file small (as allways) does anyone know a program so I can keep it around 50mb or lower?

Cheers

For only 6 minutes? An xvid or divx encoded avi should easily fit...

Get a mac.

Alternatively..  go to downloads.com and get software that shrinks video FOR iPOD..  that'll make it small..

That car looks hot.. except for the lines - just too much like celica..

The entire episode is 423mb and its an .avi file. I have used PowerDVD, Windows movie maker and I dont have my Sony Vegas anymore but when I allways use to make movies it was allways the massive size the came out being that stuffed me up. If you guys want I can just upload the entire episode?

There's yer problem..  DVD is (oldschool) MPEG2..  you want newschool MPEG4..  6 minutes will only be around 5-10mb..  if that.. as mentioned go to a software website (downloads.com) and look for iPod video compression software (which will get you MPEG4)..  or GET A MAC.

EDIT: If that car came out and handled like a subaru, I'd buy one..  I love the front and side, just HATE the rear!

If it was on my driveway... I'd take the motor, brakes, wheels, driveline, seats and some other parts off.
Then call the free"remove-a-car" service.

i rekn its awesome! its a subaru at heart... and driveline. like most concept cars the exterior design is pretty far out, but at the end of the day its not a terrible looking car. you'd still hit it for sure! o and it kicks bootay on the track!

AHAHAHHAHA nice find thats the exact thing. Thanks blakmagic I was waiting for someone to say something good abaout it. I think its funny the only thing similar from the Subaru R1 is the mirror shape. I also dont think it has that extreme outthere look its got a supercar look to it homever just raized a little higher. I must say how most you guys feel about this is how I feel about the Bugatti Veyron. I love the Veyron dont get me wrong (Cant wait to see the now VeyronGT (900 & something KW over the 732KW I think)) but not a big fan of its looks it just got so much power and perfermance its sets a benchmark so everything relative to it is now compared to it.

On that note what do you guys think of the look of the Veyron take out of mind power & performance.

Also who has heard of this the Barabus TKR? I found this a couple months back but havnt found much info on it does anyone have much info on it? I think the NEWLY coming VeyronGT will beat it tho as this is slighty faster the the standard Veyron. Not bad considering this has only the 1 engine compared to the Veyrons W16. I think I read someone the engine was maid of aluminium or something incredibly light.

I remember watching that episode with the P2. I was seriously in awe!

i really wish they put this into production.

But seriously, who cares about the looks, when you can totally give people on the roads, a serious ass bootin' without them even knowing it. smile

Nice find.  Think the looks would take some getting use to but its performance/handling speaks for itself.

I love the look of the veyron. Not that one though, it needs to be all black. Although I'd much prefer a Noble M15.

As for the Barabus, if you ask me this car is entirely a myth. Nobody has seen it even drive. The fact that they claim to extract more power from a v8 than the Bugatti does from a quad-turbo W16 is rediculous. Bugatti almost went bankrupt developing the veyron. If you could develop that sort of power from a smaller engine I'm sure they would have.
If you go searching, I think you'll find you can't even find Barabus' website any more.
