Ah my friend, the gospel goes...

On the eve of the night of victorious McRaedom, Prodrive board were reflective in their drunken stupor and the one with the Shakespearian beard did say:

To be or not toooooo be errrr..

Then Dave Richards said in a whisky slurred drawl...

nahhhh two......two......bee.....arrrghh!

And behold it was beheld that it came to pass that they did all cry in unison...

22b!!!!

And the car was born. Heareth endeth the story

Cool

That's easy

Start your Windows Calculator

Press "view" and select "scientific"

Press "Hex" in the left top corner

Enter 22b

And finally press "Dec" next to "Hex" in the left top corner.

The answer should be obvious

Hmmmmm.....

I think i like bruiser's explaination best - 2.2 Bilstien.

Knight Rider & dnb -

If you open your windows calculator and type in 5318008, then turn your monitor upside down, it spells the word "boobies"

Now all i need to know is why do men have nipples?....

LOL scoobymanWRC

But still, there have been three nametheories floating around since the 22B was introduced in 1998.

2.2 and a boxer engine
2.2 and Bilstein
555 in hexadecimal

The 555 theory is just too good to be a coincidence, at least in my opinion

22B´s suspension system was designed in a cooperation with Bilstein, Eibach, STi and Prodrive and all the shock absorbers in the car are labeled "By Prodrive". So if the suspension theory is right the name should have been something like 22BESP
