I figure 3 x 990cc = 2970cc V6 and 3 x 118 = 354 Hp @ 9,000 Rpm! Or 4 x 990 = 3960cc V8, 472 Hp @9,000 Rpm!!! What would they call it? Maybe the Super Duper Duke? But why the Audi engine?

That power to weight ratio might be beyond the extreme category, and may be getting into the silly category, but I like it. Sign me up for a test drive.

Today. Many people would buy one of these. Whole Spec racing series would spawn around these. At $30k to $35k and up, the market will / would fall off dramatically. At $50k, most people in the target audience will just buy a Lotus Elise. At $20k to $25k, I would buy one of these. Today.
