Skoda Citigo Tdi 4wd track race car
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404234242392

If it was a petrol ( I think it was originally intended to be) I'd want that all day long
Makes me wonder what happened to that Yeti TTRS

Wife has a standard car and they aren't a bit drive for a city car standard (per the Up/Mii)
Must be eyebrow raising to have one with originally 5x the power - for some reason (perhaps traction/ everyday use or MOT problems ) present owner has dropped from 360 to 270?

If I remember correctly darkside raffled it off and removed some of the spicy, highly strung (and expensive) parts before letting it go.

They did the same with one of their a5s - fitted a smaller more sensible turbo and turned down the map before raffling it off.

Ha explains a lot. Not that I'm interested anyway just thought it was interesting that is was on sale.

Still quite a one off car, bit disingenuous of that seller though who is pointing at previous spec discussions for comparison.
