Elemental RP1 review - pictures

The Elemental RP1 has been designed and engineered by a collection of ex-McLaren and ex-Ford employees.

The RP1 is a track-focused racer in the same vein as the BAC Mono and KTM X-Bow.

The Elemental RP1 features a carbon composite tub at its core.

The Elemental RP1 is available with two engines - a 1.0-litre EcoBoost producing 180bhp, or a 2.0-litre that produces 320bhp.

0-60 times range from 3.2 to 2.8 seconds.

Very little feels as fast on the road as the RP1 does.

The RP1 accelerates from as low as 2000rpm and continues beyond 6500rpm.

The Elemental RP1 feels less scary to drive than most other track-focused racers.

The driving position in the RP1 is pure Formula 1 - low-slung and stretched out.

The car comes with a six-speed sequential gearbox that responds instantly.

The Elemental RP1 produces a claimed 200kg of downforce at 100mph.

The two engine choices are differently powered but cost exactly the same to buy.

The 2.0-litre engine offers more power but the 1.0 is much lighter, giving the RP1 greater agility.

The RP1's F1-style suspension means it corners like a racing car.
