In fact, chief designer Masashi Nakayama declared they could shrink it to the size of an MX-5 Miata.

The Romanian company isn’t messing about when it comes to the talent behind the wheel.
The future winner of the Dakar rally, of course! Well… that’s what Dacia hopes, and it’s given itself a decent chance by partnering with motorsport engineering legends Prodrive. Prodrive’s Rally Raid Special, the Hunter, will form the car’s basis, all rigged up to get Dacia into the top Ultimate T1+ class.

“One of the primary challenges was to meet the goal of creating a roadster that has a top speed of 260mph and mixing this performance-defining quality with an experience in the cabin that is luxurious, refined and assured,” Scervo added.
To make that possible, the vast majority of bolts and frames have been made as rigid but lightweight as possible, and composite materials have been used, too.
