The Caparo T1, 1000bhp/ton but build around the sweet spot of 500bhp in 500kg
It broke the Top Gear lap record but was not included as the producers threw in a late minute speed bump challenge.
They added a lift system but weren't allowed to run again as it was quicker the Bugatti Veyron etc

The producers did not "throw in" a late minute speed bump challenge. In fact, the requirement for any lap record car to be able to drive over a standard British speed bump has been in effect since episode one of the show. Many cars have broken the lap record, only to be disallowed on such grounds.
Still a very cool car, the Caparo.
Anyway. Hello everyone. Here's a photo of my Hawk Strato's replica taken on a parade lap of Silverstone. I sold her a couple of months ago as I have a hankering for a 964 targa.
