I recently saw the Elemental RP1 release documentation and it's an absolute stunner. It looks like a Factory Five 818R dual-seater if you wanted to spend about $100,000. Blog (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/06/26/elemental-rp1-280-bhp-goodwood-official/), Concept (http://elementalcars.co.uk/), Car Site (http://elementalcars.co.uk/drive/) info.
I don't see this as being controversial because, despite them obviously competing in terms of overall functionality, they are nowhere near each other in price. This thing is almost entirely carbon fiber. I would imagine the tub and body alone are the price of a fully spec'd out 818, let alone engines, gearbox, trim, options, etc.
I was hoping to spark some discussion about how one would modify an 818 to get closer to this.
