That looks and seems awesome. Not sure how practical it would be to drive every day.
But the track version; a 2.5 500bhp weighing 850kg its

What could keep up with you around a track if you had one of those??

Didn't Subaru stop them from using the running gear on the feroce (hence why it was no longer made).
I do remember Tiff ragging the hell out of the feroce (i think it was on old Top Gear

It's going to be utterly uncontrollable though, isn't it. Also, all grip and grunt, not a lot of subtlety about it.

Not that I'm good enough to know the subtle end of the stick from the other end.

Just look at the Grinall scorpion 4 and the comments made by EVO.

Exclamation

Shame that they haven't taken the opportunity to put a FMIC on it - they'll get probably even more heat soak with the old TMIC in that all enclosing bodywork

Had a look on the web and depending on who you believe it had a very chequered past.

The difference with this car is if you look at the pictures on their website, they have fitted an older 90degree inlet turbo'd engine.... if that makes sense... ie, an old unit, not new! i'm actually not sure there's room under the bonnet for the later front entry turbo set-up...?

Anyway, seems like it'd be quite fun....

Not that i'm about to break up my Scoob to use the bits in one....
