May not be the worlds greatest cornering machine , but grunty with 520 lb ft @ 1,800 RPM

Most impressive part is just the general daftness of the whole idea seems sort of sensible

Over 60mpg from a 6.6 litre V8? Even with 8 gears, this seems optimistic.

Then there's the looks. A Griff it ain't!

Hmmm... Watch this space - I might have something for the overstroked 5.x RV8 brigade to think about, in a month or so...

Please note clown face in original post, just like the one on this one

"Logical" as in a V8, made in UK, low revving with excessive low down grunt, and should be good for 300,000+ miles or so before a rebuild too (guess based on being huge diesel in light car).

Anyway, its Friday
