Cool. Will be interesting to see one that isn't a CG render though! Wonder where all their performance figures are coming from?

Vehicle/fluid dynamics simulations are very accurate these days. Looking at the tub they've already got rolling makes me think it's more than pie in the sky.

Plus, ex-McLaren... They'd have to be alright to survive under Ron.

Same engine as the RST-V8.

According to the pistonheads replies, no.

And (reading between the lines) there also may be more than a smattering of involvement from a certain mullet-wearing mustachioed genius responsible for a certain 3 seater masterpiece....

Bet you it is????

Okay, but it's grown an extra valve per cylinder. May very well be the same - all I know is what I've posted.

The brochure says it's a bespoke V8?
