    Forget HP and note the torque figure: a massive 854 Nm!

    No existing manual gearbox at the time could cope with the tremendous torque. So they had to use a heavy duty 3-speed automatic, which was used on a garbage trucks IIRC.

    Also this car had a non-independent DeDion type rear suspension, hardly supercar stuff.....

    I was wondering the same... 4-5 speed were already standard by that time.

    Quantum Coupe. Best thing about them is if they fail then it's easy to get the lights unlike pop up Being a kit car, they fail often

    Actually the lights aren't flipping So it's a partially flip down bonnet piece.
