1) it doesn't do anything like 118 mpg when you hit the gas and you are not doing 'an economic cycle'. 2) it is rather expensive compared with other light-weight sports cars. 3) Making a light-weight minimalist sports car is the easy bit. Translating it into something that can be used everyday well Lotus have done that well and quite cheaply. This is a play thing. The 1 litre Ford engine is great. The fiesta shows this not this 'lesson in power to weight'.

I really don't see the reason for some of these comparisons. So take a small, light highly boosted engine and compare against -cars-.
Why not show the crash test of this car against a VW beetle or a 75, 000 GVW tractor trailer? Just impracticle to most of us.
However, would be fun if these could be rented on a track somewhere.

Very patronising. So it is power divided by weight is it? a = F/m. and there was me thinking that it was power multiplied by weight. I didn-t understand why my 2. 6 tonne Camper with 110 bhp was slower than a Golf GTI when their power multiplied by mass was the same. Now I know!

Why the comparison. The Audi, BMW and the merc can sit passengers and take luggage, plus you do not get wet in the rain. He should taken the Ariel Atom and the Caterham for a similar comparison. Would really want to drive down from to Nice in a one seater track car or the M6?

really disappointing the weather was this bad. I'm sure the Ford had alot more to show and give in the dry weather. Would love to see this comparison again in warm and dry weather conditions to see what it could really do against these cars.

Ahem, 200 bhp from a 1000cc. this sounds familliar, but i ride bikes. and i know emessions and so on, are much much stricter on cars, but still. 200 bhp per litre is pretty much the standard for supersport bikes: -)

What gets me about programs like this why would you do it on the wet that gives advantage away? Surly these supposed shows could easily wait for a dry day so makes this pointless.

I want one. I think this is what Ford need. small turbo engine with lightweight body. it would really give the Japanese cars some competition
