The spartan ducati is a superb and ideal track car

Winner of this year\'s World Superbike title, the 170hp Ducati 1198cc V-twin engine sits snuggly behind the driver\'s left ear in the mid-engine race chassis, and has the potential to propel the Spartan from 0-62mph in just 3.0 seconds and hit a top speed of 162mph.A traditional chrome gear stick drives the engine via a six-speed sequential transmission and the exhaust exits via a carbon-fiber diffuser that sits below a see-through mesh panel via which the engine, chassis and suspension are visible. At a mere 350kg with a low center of gravity and spectacular braking, the Spartan purports to offer the ultimate driving experience. And with no roof or doors and just a small speedster-style windscreen for protection from the bugs, this is a car for the purist with only 300 to be manufactured worldwide.
