Did anyone else catch this?

"At Motegi circuit last weekend, our Fit ran for three hours on 40 liters of gasoline and finished with the same time as a stock NSX."


"Unlimited potential! First of all, the base car comes very cheap, so it makes it relatively easy for shops, tuners and racing fans to compete and race with this car. The tires and wheels are small, so they're easy to replace cheaply. Being small and light is an advantage when racing. For example, stripping a 55-pound A/C unit from a Fit that only weighs a ton will award more positive results than just doing the same to a heavy NSX."

That is hard to believe but I guess handling and power to weight ratio is what really matters around the track huh?

 

ahahahaha..

i've to say that when i tried driving it (back home in indonesia), i can definitely feel a better pull on it...compared to my civic...

even though my dad's fit only got 88 (something) HP....but it's 1 ton lighter, eh? LOL

 

power-to-weight ratio..big factor indeed

 

hopefully the car will feel more power than the paper shown.

 

Stock 1.5L VTEC Jazz does a 16.6sec standing quarter mile.

The Honda official 12 secs to 100km/hr is very conservative with consistent runs of 8.9sec being achieved with the CVT auto. See http://asia.vtec.net/Reviews/JazzVtec/index.html

Some comparisons lifted from Aug 2004 Australian wheels magazine
0-60km/h
Fiesta Ghia (4.5sec)/Barina CD (5.0sec)/Jazz VTi (4.2sec)/Mazda 2 Neo (4.5sec)
0-100km/h
Fiesta Ghia (10.7sec)/Barina CD (11.7sec)/Jazz VTi (9.3sec)/Mazda 2 Neo (10.4sec)
0-400m(1/4 mile)
Fiesta Ghia (17.3sec@128km)/Barina CD (17.8sec@125km)/Jazz VTi (16.6sec@134km)/Mazda 2 Neo (17.2sec@132km)

For a car that uses just 5L/100km on the highway its amazing.

Article on the spoon fit racing at thunderhill 25 hour enduro.

 

i believe this body has what it needs for a sports car but you have to spend so much money to make a become a sport race car.

 

If you think that would be expensive check this out.


That's all carbon fiber!!!!

 

holy sh!t !!!!!

is this the only pic??

 

Same car from the front

 

it looks nice, but i think it's a bit too much cf

 

^^Thats gross.....and very expensive.

 

CF bonnets don't do it for me either. Makes the car look like it hasn't finished being resprayed when it came back from the panel beaters. 'Panel beaters special'.

From a safety perspective cf doesn't crumple like normal metal but splinters and goes into shards. Could do without half a bonnet in the head in an accident.

 

that's just for show you know : )

 

they are just not using the right type of cf.

look at the cwest s2000, the asm s2000.... quality is just that good.

 

Looks more like a big carbon fiber sticker put over thecar..
can you show me the door jams and under the hood

 

back to the topic...

it really depends on what you're talking about..

small and light weight car can turn good compared to heavy car.

what you mean fast?? turning? straight?

 

They were the only pictures posted. I'm sure you could track down the company who's demo car it was and ask them all about it. I don't know if its all for real or not but it looks the ducks guts.

 

Found the company that did that carbon fiber jazz. More pics on their site.

are you kidding me? that's insane!...i saw a fully carbon fiber s2k at HIN last month...that was crazy too!
