Seems like an age ago now when I got the phone call from the guys and Gulf-Sport (www.gulf-sport.com) to come down and take some shots of the then new Caparo T1 being put through some hot weather testing at the Dubai Autodrome. I was quick to react but when the possibility of a passenger ride was thrown in I was out of the door like a shot.

Now for those that still don't know the Caparo was developed by engineers that helped deliver the iconic McLaren F1, the Caparo T1 is a new uncompromised and unconstrained sports car that sets new boundaries in performance, driver experience and enjoyment. The Caparo T1 has an unrivalled, extremely high speed dynamic performance envelope.

The Caparo T1 is a track day and road going 2 seater sports car using aerospace and high formula composite racing technologies whilst providing race bred safety. This extremely lightweight sports car is capable of true ‘aerodynamic’ high speed performance and delivers a new level of acceleration, cornering and braking to the driver at 3g+ via its 1000 bhp/tonne performance specifications.

The Caparo T1 is a cost effective and reliable race car, setting new milestones in supercar performance.
