Eye-Candy ?!

I'm really looking forward to the first reviews for the car. I guess EVO will be the first magazine, who gets the chance to drive it. Hopefully one car makes it to SportAuto over here in Germany. In Hockenheim (short circuit) it should be able to clock a killer time. The Carrea GT did it in 1:08,6min and the GT3 Cups do it AFAIK in ~1:05min, considering half the weight, more power and a good amount of downforce it should be good for a very low 1:0xmin time.

Apparently there are some steet legality issues. I hope this can become a serious car, it would sure push other companies to up the ante and do what they are capable of.

These might be to open the canopy?
Furthermore, I am looking forward to real pics of this car. Can anybody explain to me why this car is known as caparo T1 as well as freestream t1?

Freestream (the company) was recently bought by a bigger player. Details here: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/66083/freestream_has_new_owner.html
