They made this thing that looks like a Caterham: ![http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/002_ifraspid.jpg](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/002_ifraspid.jpg) ![http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/003_ifraspid.jpg](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/003_ifraspid.jpg) ![http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/004_ifraspid.jpg](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/004_ifraspid.jpg) Now they’re coming out with this called the GT-21 Invictus: [http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/#index](http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/#index) ![http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/images/vistas/01.jpg](http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/images/vistas/01.jpg) ![http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/images/vistas/02.jpg](http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/images/vistas/02.jpg) ![http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/images/vistas/03.jpg](http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/images/vistas/03.jpg) ![http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/images/vistas/05.jpg](http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/images/vistas/05.jpg) ![http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/images/vistas/06.jpg](http://www.ifrautomotive.com/aspidcarsv2/eng/images/vistas/06.jpg) It does kinda look like a Prowler… But: 2,182 pounds 4.4 BMW V8 - 450hp Side pipes! Air bags, etc. (possible for US?) This video sucks but it sure sounds good (maybe it will stay that way): ---

First car is kind of an abomination with those headlight assemblies being a foot away from the actual car. Not to mention, that steering wheel looks retarded. Second car is pretty tits, actually. ---

these are both definitely variants on the Caterham chassis. the first car looks literally like the book chassis with fancy fiberglass bodywork applied over the top. There are build plans available for free all over the net…even for frames designed wider to accept V8’s…sounds like the borrowed free engineering and just paid someone to make the body look cool. ---

Second car? Honda accord meets Prowler with a dash of SLR thrown in. ---

they’re both pretty cool really but being that it’s a spanish company i wouldn’t bet buck one on even hearing about these cars again.
