...whether it makes it into production or not is anyone's guess, but this particular car was running around the track.

yawn. three years ago, when they should have started selling this car, it would have been good. it will be canned soon i reckon. whilst it might rival the CTR and even the Clio Cup, at least Honda and Renault have built them. whilst the spec is very nice, its no use gushing over cars that arent built. i keep telling my brother this about the mazda rx8 though at least that looks more likely.

allegedly it will be going into production.

suppliers are making parts at the present.

there was a black development / prototype vehicle (on X plate) in the Mulsanne enclosure car park at this years le mans (Sunday afternoon).

Nick knows it definitely is coming....

Last I heard, Ford were having problems extracting a reliable 210bhp from a 2 litre turbo. Perhaps they should buy some Japanese cars & take them apart bit by bit until they understand what they are doing wrong.

Were they not also having problems with the crash testing as well? I really don't think it will be as great as every one is hoping it to be. Remember it has only 40 bhp more than the ST170 and that was pretty much a disappoint. Yes, it will have more torque but is that enough to make it a much better car?
