 Griffith
and Chimaera are nearly the same car but with different enclosures and
engines. Griffith is more powerful - the 5 litres Rover engine is tuned
to output 340hp and 350lbft, enough to push the extraordinary light
body
to 60mph from standstill in merely 4.2sec - there are no more than 10
cars
in the world can accelerate faster. Its handling is not as good as the
performance, while ride is rock hard. Comfortable is a nonsense word to
Griffith, so are refinement and build quality. Now you may know why the
Griffith can be so cheap and so light - it is one of the rawest machine
on road, with little development. Porsche, Ferrari and Lotus will never
do that.
