the attack is a kit car produced in slovakia. kits are available in a variety of configurations and are based on the honda accord chassis.

these kids started with some version of the attack kit car. possibly it was donated or provided by a grant. the cost of the kit car is prohibitive. a basic model with without the drivetrain will set you back around $30k if my currency conversion was correct. a fully equipped model with a 240 hp 3L ford engine goes for around $60K.

the article and video IMO is a feel-good story about a bunch of disadvantaged kids and a biased jab at the oil and auto industries. other than the fact that the kids are learning and not on the streets (which is great news) their is little substance to the report. they don't even provide many details about the car because the sole intent was to make the auto and oil companies look greedy and stupid and the kids look like geniuses. it's a shame that CBS doesn't discuss what, if any advancements, the modifications actually promise.
