words can not describe how bad I want one of these..

You can actually order these from a place in Italy. After watching the video I went to Gloria's website, didnt do me any good cause its all in a foreign language. For the cool price of 45,500 euros + shipping from Italy, you can own your very own mini formula car! I dont know what the exchange rate is right now, but Im guessing thats in the neighborhood of $60-$70k? Ugh, time for a career change.

 

These use the engines out of inline four liter bikes (r1's, gsxr 1000's, etc) How could you not get out of the thing and have a perma-smile for a longggg time. I know I would. Skip to 3:10 for the action to start.

That's sweet. Reminds me of the Gixxercart from a few years back...

[BrasilNuts]

That made me happy in my special place. :)

Cool. The penalty for a mistake looks rather significant.

 

 

How about an Ariel Atom... about half the price and street legal....

Neat video.  Pretty sure I'd be dead or in a coma by dinner time...

Wow that little mini Indy car can fly!!

What would be awesome is the same driver and same car, on Nurburgring. Filmed the same way, with the gopro.

I suspect it would be slower than the ariel atom by a substantial amount
