Safety Systems
I think the greatest safety feature of any car is that it communicates its speed accurately back to the driver. I've owned cars that have been very quick but simply didn't feel it (e.g. a Subaru Impreza Turbo). I like my sports cars to feel fast when they are going fast. It's the most fundamental feedback mechanism and a direct link to their survival instinct. Inappropriate speed is the biggest killer on UK roads.
There are other passive safety features that you want and expect in a good sports car. Driver feedback and involvement are essential tools in judging the level of grip available for given surface and road conditions. Equally important is progressive handling characteristics that give you plenty of warning and reminders as you creep up to the edge of the performance envelope.
A car like this is also inherently safer through its ability to rapidly accelerate, brake and change direction.
Visibility
Cars that are this small and low are not very visible. There are a some muppet drivers out there but, there are also a large number of drivers with poor eyesight. As every motorcyclist should know, anything you can do to make yourself more visible is good. This is especially true in the autumn and winter months when the sun is low. It also applies in the summer months, when the many B-roads are shaded by tree canopies.
In my Fisher Fury R1 I usually drive around with low-beam headlights on. I would use just the side lights which are LED but, these are not bright enough in my view. Ideally, I'd like to have some very bright LED daytime running lights.

Crash Helmet
This car is designed so that a crash helmet is easily accomodated with both the roof on or off.
Eye Protection
Without a full windscreen in place, some form of eye protection is essential. Insects, stones and even dust can damage your eyes at quite low speeds.
Ear Plugs
In a bike engined-car with just an aeroscreen for protection, ear plugs are essential to stop your hearing being damaged. It is not just the exposure to the engine, exhaust and induction noise but, the wind noise can also do significant damage.
