i can appreciate the work that has gone in to this and it has been done well but i personally dont like the stying, the mini itself is amazing and must be very very quick but the body styling just does not appeal to me :fear:

Same as minimole, must of taken a bit of hard work and thought to get something like that to work, but if you look at this picture:

you can see the join quite clearly down the middle of the car, I can't help but think this could have been finished a whole lot better, especially with that grill, the grill looks pretty aweful.

yeah the car styling may not appeal to everyone but the car is built for racing. the wing is for practicality not styling. but it gives it a unique touch

Is that rear wing going to keep it on the ground or help it to take off, aircraft style?

With all the downforce on the rear tyres, and all the steering being done by the front tyres, isn't having downforce on the rear going to reduce the steering grip. despite the engine weight?

Propper race cars are just on another level :) Propper engineering. I reckon that it looks absolutly class. none of the namby pamby poo, just the real deal :cool:
Isnt that engine out of the RX7. If so you can get 500bhp+ out of them. Imagine the power/weight ratio of it then.Something like 900 bhp/ton :)
