DP1- How cool is this?!

Not very MK1 related but it's flippen cool. I want one! 8)

"Dennis Palatov started from scratch with a ?what if?? and his answer is the DP1, a Hayabusa powered track car with carbon fiber body and far too many technical features to mention. He is building this as a prototype for eventual production (projected February 2006) in several power variations, a stock Hayabusa engine, a turbo version and one to be powered by the Hayabusa V8 which we covered before and was developed by Radical Extreme sportscars. Performance should be ? quite acceptable.
His website documents the entire project from the initial sketches and proceeds step by step right up to the present very advanced state. If you want to see a project take shape, this is a great site."
