What does a street-legal (in the UK) nearly open-wheel race car producing over 1,000 horsepower per metric ton feel like on the road? Ask Autocar, which took a test drive of a prototype Caparo T1. At just over a half-ton, the T1's actual horsepower figure is 575. But it appears to have the intuitive handling characteristics of a go kart, with the sequential transmission of an F1 car and the quickness of a jackrabbit shot from an antitank cannon. We'll live through you chaps, thanks.
