performance, driver experience and enjoyment. The Caparo T1 has an extremely
high speed dynamic performance envelope, which is unrivalled. The Caparo T1 is a
track day and road going* 2 seater sports car using aerospace and high formula
composite racing technologies whilst providing race bred safety. This extremely
lightweight sports car is capable of true ‘aerodynamic’ high speed performance
and delivers a new level of acceleration, cornering and braking to the driver
>3G via its >1000 bhp/tonne performance specifications. The Caparo T1 is a cost
effective and reliable race car, setting new milestones in supercar performance.
