Five extreme cars at the London Motor Show

A motorshow is a great place to find the whole spectrum of cars on the market and the 2008 British Motor Show has been a massive success on that front, hosting everything from electric 'quadricycles' to full-on hyper cars. Here we look at five extremes of motoring on display at ExCeL, from a stripped out Renault hot hatch, to a 700bhp electric car and even the outstandingly frugal Ford Fiesta ECOnetic. Each of the cars featured is extreme in its own way.
