    Trying to remember a car

    There is a top gear video floating around on youtube about a very small british made car. It has 0-60 time of 4ish seconds. Anyone know what Im talking about? i cant remember the name of the car to save my life.

            Do you mean the Aero? It's a british made car, but it's open top, and it's basically an old open wheeled roadster.

              However, given how distinctive it is, it's hard not to remember.

                  You know, you do need to be a little more specific. If all we have to go on is "Small British car that goes fast," the list is pretty endless.

                  The first car that came to mind for me was the McLaren F1, the fastest mass-produced car in history. It's pretty tiny, and it's a center-seater. If only a had a million dollars to buy one.

                    I think you misspelled "Bugatti Veyron"

                    Edit- Yes, I know about the SSC, but it's recent and doesn't really roll off the tongue.

                      Thats it thanks. Given that the last time I saw it was like 1.5 years ago, I'm not surprised that I dont remember it.


                      And yes I should have been more descriptive than "small british car"

                        Aha... so the McLaren isn't the fastest production car anymore. I stand corrected.

                          You know, in my mind, I still think the McLaren is the better car.

                              I think you are thinking of the Caterham.

                              Depending on the model 0-60 is from 6.5 to 2.88 seconds. there is a big difference in price from 13k GBP to 38k GBP.
