DAMN LOW! just lilttle bit higher than a kart! not taller than the height of a Nike sport shoes! guess, Lotus Elise or Lotus 340R can do something similar this ? i think not only power to weight ratio help it perfomance(response) but low centre gravity also helps!

For the higher spec'd up 260BHP 2.3 litre Cosworth engines, the power to weight ratio is 472BHP/Tonne easily outclassing most super-cars power to weight ratio of today. If you have the money and are thinking of getting one, dont hesitate. You wont regret it. This car has a great power to weight ratio, weighs 550kgs, is relatively affordable and is great great fun.
