The 340R is awe inspiring. Know why it's called 340? Coz' only 340 units are made all of which have been snapped up! BTW, it's not 200 bhp. It's 177 bhp minus plus. Now, if am not mistaken, the engine is similar to the one used by Rover in the Caterham (my god, this one is really fast, damn it!!).In fact, I think the 340R is made to compete with the Caterham or loosely based on it! This is my personal opinion though.
Drove it around the track a couple of weeks ago. Lot's of acceleration. Handles like it's superglued to the tarmac! Revved up to 8000rpm easily and effortlessly. On the straights, could hit 180 kph easily. This is a car which make your adrenalin pumps really hard and does not spill it all over the tarmac! Lurrrvely.....
