The Supertight is really a stripped out machine weighing in at only 465kg, because of extensive utilization of graphite.

Performance is merely stunning, because of a high-revving 1.8 litre X-Power engine pumping out around 230bhp.

This really is sufficient to propel the tiny machine from 0-100kph in under 3.5 seconds as well as on to 240kph – if you’re brave enough.

Fortunately handling and braking systems are as much as the requirements produced by this type of high power-weight ratio, but nevertheless this isn’t an automobile for that amateur, or the faint-hearted.

No little luxuries, but many adrenaline-pumping adventure each time the starter button is pushed.
