Answer: Yes, it's rear-engined (like a sportscar) and has rear-wheel drive (also like a sportscar), but it's minuscule engine offers just 108bhp. Sure, the car is small and light, but even so you get a 0-62 time which is just under 10 seconds and a top speed which almost makes the car of yesteryear look a bit racy.
