Wasn't sure which forum to post this in....so feel free to transfer to Non Scooby Related...

About 12 months ago I remember seeing a car that was based on the Scoob...I think it was a soft top...and I also think it made an appearance at Donnington...tho not sure..

I think that Top Gear/Driven also did a piece on it...???

Can anyone remember what it was called...and if so any contact details/website?

Cheers

Cool

Rum,

Think it was called a Delfino and had Scooby running gear. Looked like a brutal beastie, and reputedly did 0-60 in 3.9 secs! Haven't got any more info, but it was in one or two magazines. Try

I think they had a little bit in the Evo before the current one, where they were now using a Subaru engine, but not the turbo, I think it was somewhere around 180bhp.

Thumbs up

That is the OSCA produced in Italy for a Japanese owner. It has a 2.5 Legacy engine (non Turbo) but only weighs 680kg and has been tuned by STI to produce 187bhp. So performance is in Caterham territory according to the mag.

*edit*. It's actually mid engined and RWD. There are plans to produce it in small numbers with a target price of approx 45K pounds. Very good looking car, kinda evocative of the OSCA cars from the 1950s.
