What"s that? You"ve got 82,000 to spend on a track toy and want something designed and made in a shed in the Southern Hemisphere? Perfect, we"ve got just the car for you. This is the Australian-built Spartan". Great name, right? The headline stats are pretty impressive too. It uses a supercharged 2.4-litre engine that began its life with Honda badging, but now puts out 400bhp. Combine that with a 550kg kerb weight and you"ve got something that will get to 62mph from standstill in just 2.4 seconds. Blimey. Built by twin brothers Nick and Peter Pap over an eight-year period, that light weight has been achieved thanks to a carbon fibre body, tubular spaceframe chassis and a, well, spartan interior.
