Caparo T1 - the fastest "road car" in the world
The T1 was officially unveiled by Albert II, His Serene Highness The Sovereign Prince of Monaco, joined by Murray Walker, at the Top Marques auto show in Monaco on April 20, 2006. The show car unveiled was a prototype, painted orange as historic McLaren cars were due to the nature of the T1's designers being ex-McLaren engineers.
The T1 has an estimated maximum speed of 205 miles per hour on a low downforce setup. From a standing start, it has an estimated 0–62 mph under 2.3 seconds and onto 99 mph in 4.6 seconds, depending on tyre setup. It is also capable of an estimated lateral acceleration of up to 3 g and braking deceleration of 3 g, depending on tyre setup. Furthermore, it is capable of 29-mile-per-imperial-gallon .
On November 11, 2007, the T1 surpassed the Top Gear Power Board leader's time of 1:17.6, held by the Koenigsegg CCX, with a time of 1:10.6, the largest margin any car has ever beaten the previous best by. Though immediately having declared the time and placed it on the Power Board, presenter Jeremy Clarkson removed the record because it did not meet the show's rule that the car must be able to go over a speed bump, despite it being street legal.
