So, browsing t'internet I have come across this and frankly, I think it's awesome! 350kgs and a 1000cc bike engine; what's not to like?! I realise it's not exactly a new kit but it's slipped past me. Have some pics... ![](http://photos.automobiles.free.fr/Evenements/Autres_rassemblements_salons/PRM_Fun_Boost_1.JPG) ![](http://www.estrallye.com/photos/lampions/FaivreV4.JPG) And a little video showing some slippy slidey fin... Does anybody else know anything about them? I'm guessing they are big on the hill climb and sprint scene? Enjoy!

Ford Focus RS Mk1 - hello low MPGs and "wanna race me" at every set of lights... 1973 BMW 2002 - Twin 40's, 284 Cam, Revolutions, E21 Recaros + more Porsche Cayman 987 3.4S - here and due to cost me more money than I have

That does look awesome, 350kg is crazy light, like, considerably lighter than radicals and a lot of single seaters, mental. You don't see many hard top cars of that sort, but I really like the idea.

look like 206 headlamps. The principle reminds me of slalom Ax's out in Europe: Ax Kawasaki gorgeous noise, very rapid!! Spaceframed 5dr Ax with bike engine used in the slalom races in the french/spanish mountains (i think). ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/skinnylew/Ax/ax5dr5.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/skinnylew/Ax/ax5dr4.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/skinnylew/Ax/ax5dr3.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/skinnylew/Ax/ax5dr2.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/skinnylew/Ax/ax5dr1.jpg)

That's remarkable! I can't imagine them being road-legal though, unfortunately.

It's hard to say without seeing the structure, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't get one road legal in the UK.

I'm going to call their bluff of 350kgs. Unless there's a composite monocoque under and a lot of expensive engineering. The very lightest bike engine caterham was 398kgs, the carbon monocoque Westfield FW400 was only 399kgs, even little carbon tub bike engine single seaters only just slip under the 350kg mark.
They may be popular on the euro hillclimb scene but never seen or heard of one in britain!

I had a bit of reading through their website (although I don't read French) and they don't actually claim a weight of 360kg, I think they say that's the minimum legal race weight for their SSFA category. I believe they claim the sports model at 395kg with a Yamaha R1 engine and no driver, although the race trim model might be a bit lighter.

Very neat. Looks interesting. Worthy of some research, I think. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I have been wondering about some sort of special along these lines but the rules and regulations surrounding Single Vehicle Approval, or whatever they are calling it this week ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) , put me off. But if there's a kit available... ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) "I'm" ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)
