Forgive us, we are fickle things here at TFTS. We thought the Bugatti Veyon was cool. We also thought the Caparo T1 was cool. We still do think that these and the majority of the spectacular cars and car concepts we’ve featured on TFTS are cool, though they just got a little bit warmer because, thanks to the Acabion GTBO70 Rocket we have moved them out of cold storage to make space for this 375mph, 700hp cockpit on wheels.
Weighing in at a mere 359kg, the two seater, carbon fibre Acabion – which, incidentally, is powered by a highly tuned Suzuki motorcycle engine – can propel itself to 280mph in a breathtaking, g-force crushing 19 seconds.
A selection of imagery and a detailed specification follows below.

Yup. We’d be smiling to ourselves too.
