cadguy77 0 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 It's not modified, that's concept (edit d'oh) Link to post Share on other sites
stusnook 0 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Its a concept car.6.0 litre, 641bhp, 553lb ft torque, engine mid-mounted. Rear Wheel Drive.0-62mph 3.7 seconds.19" alloys, 295 width, lowered 70mm, underfloor aerodynamics, top speed in excess of 201mph.All above quoted from July edition of Top Gear magazine.Perhaps it hints at a new model, even hotter than the R32, but I can't ever see them putting this into production which is a real shame.

lee060 3 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 but they have made one , which makes it possible for them to put it into production , its good to dream sometimes Link to post Share on other sites
Big_Bob 0 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Wonder how much that'd cost? £50k? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Wonder how much that'd cost? £50k?And the rest....he engine came out of a 100k car plus 2 turbos bolted on and fabricated panels and everthing to get the engine into car.I heard a figure of £200k Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 It's an expnesive piece of kit. All the panelwork is carbon fibre. Probably cost them half a million to build it.I'm thinking about a toned-down version, still rear engined & RWD, but with a cheaper twin turbo R36 engine and steel/plastic/aluminium panelwork instead of CF. Effectively an M3 challenger for £40k. That would definitely sell. Renault already did something very similar with the Clio. Link to post Share on other sites
adam_christie 0 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Turbo'd R36 engine? They could do the cheaper option of slapping an audi V10 lump in there, Don't think they'd go through the process of rear mounting a transverse engine when they already know how to stick V10's in the back of cars (lambo Gallardo for instance) Don't know if the V10 will fit though......
