    Speed Through Lightness: The RoadRazor

    Here's another of what seems to be a million or so UK-based track-day automkers trying to launch their labours of love to a marketplace of idle-rich floggers. This lightweight stripper is called the RoadRazer, and it's got carbon-fiber bodywork and chassis, paddle-operated six-speed sequential gearbox, a Quaife differential, a dry-sump configuration engine, foam-filled safety fuel cell, and adjustable dampers. Considering it weigns a scant 661 lbs, the car's 175 hp engine is more than adaquate to get it to 60 mph in three seconds. Look for the RoadRazor at the UK's Autosport International 2007 in January, selling for around 49,000.
