Default Colin Mcrae designed race car

Oooh.. wonder if it'll make it to the road?

Designed by Colin McRae and Dave Plant and built by DJM Race Preparation, the McRae R4's chassis is based on a steel safety cage with carbon paneling front and rear and a steel-covered pit area. Suspension consists of twin wishbones with Proflex dampers. The body styling has been designed by Keith Burden and Tom Webster.
The engine is a normally-aspirated 4 cylinder, 2.5 litre Millington Diamond Engine producing 350 BHP. The transmission will be ensured by a six-speed gearbox, manual or semi-automatic, and by mechanical front and rear differentials with the option of mechanical or active central differential. The car can be produced in either 2 or 4 wheel drive formats.

Me and Si were haveing a chat about this on the way down to Sliverstone for the Time Attack. Saw a tiny bit about it in Auto Express, just mentioned the McRae Whatever in the 'Models due out' column, so had a little search on WAP Google and pulled up the images.

It's gonna be a purely stripped out racer by all accounts, and one engine option is something like a V8 600bhp+ race proven thing
