Question of the Week: which track special would you like to see made road-legal?

Late last week, British tuner Lanzante announced it would recalibrate the forthcoming Red Bull RB17 hypercar for road use. Quite how it plans to do so remains a mystery, and one that’s beyond the understanding of most of us without mechanical engineering degrees.

But it’s definitely happening, and it could just pave the way for more future road-legal conversions of X-rated cars. And that thought invited another: exactly which track special(s) would you like Lanzante, or indeed any other aftermarket tuner, to focus on making M25-friendly?

Let’s get the ball rolling with one plucked straight from Ferrari’s stable of hardcore mutations: the FXX-K. The LaFerrari is a brutal car as is, packing around 1,000bhp and a Formula One-grade KERS system for the straights. But, it seems, Ferrari still had more to extract from that stunning V12, aerodynamics and cornering ability of ‘The Ferrari’. Imagine the scenes of this prowling through Whitechapel at night.

OK, perhaps not Whitechapel, but you get the idea. Anyway, how about the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12? It sits atop a race-bred platform and has the sort of screaming 12-cylinder soundtrack that’d get you instantly sent to the naughty step on your first encounter with the constabulary. The perfect no-holds-bar hypercar, then, to see just how quickly a big ol’ bull can scatter through the Brecon Beacons.

One more example to get your creativity flowing, we think. How about… the Aston Martin Vulcan? Once the razor-sharp splitter, rear window-blocking wing and perilously low stance are addressed, few cars could have the sort of on-road presence that Gaydon’s downforce freak would.

What do we reckon, folks: is one of these three worth considering for a theoretical road conversion, or do you have a wilder prospect in mind? The comments section awaits…
