Well with the intercooler in its normal place on a Subaru engine where else would you put the scoop 
BTW the car i drove only had the 208bhp engine in it, but was incredibly quick ! and had a massive weight advantage over a normal scoob !

Yep, and the production version is slated to have the 280bhp STI engine in it... assuming the Subaru come round on the engine provider thing...
Love this car, on the list, waiting its release... please bring the prototype back

No, it's not a publicity stunt 
Allard would not be impressed at that...
I'm surprised it didn't have Tracker on it - perhaps they were a little naive that a unique car wouldn't be stolen. Who knows...

Reported on the radio this morning, the Delfino has been found (actually they said '2 million pound prototype car' but I assume it's a Delfino). It had been towed as it was parked illegally. Ring any bells? (BEX!)

Fast Bloke -
The Mclaren is still the fastest ever production car - 240.1mph.
The Speed 12 was never a produciton car - too unreliable, never produced as a production road car.
The new Bugatti is not released yet, but they do claim it will top 250mph, but there is some question as to whether it will be a 'production' car record because if an owner wants to do 250 they will have to contact Bugatti and get an engineer and crew to come out to them to derestrict it, and fit uprated (possibley slick) tyres to obtain the maximum speed. So as a production car it will not do 250mph.
