Some may have seen this already. Ignore rear ride height. It had wrong springs on. Batmobile graphics are because their current sponsorship is coming to an end so, this is temporary.

once they sort out a proper livery for the 2012 season, instead of having a laugh and carry on about it looking like the bat mobile for basicly a shake down at silverstone, it will look alot better imo, but really cant fault the guys for giving this a proper bash!

That looks mega inside, agree with Ian though - outside looks a bit boring.

What engine is that, NGTC one?

Nice man In person to, painted a m3 front end matt black years ago when I worked just down the road from him.

Got a nice car in at the moment Tom that you would appreciate. A shell from seat racing in Spain. The one I painted for Britcar was totalled at silverstone 24hr.

The engine intrigues me, Swindon build all the NGTC-TOCA engines, the 'unbranded' ones that is, and it's being used in the Toyota Avensis, the Vectras and now this.

I doubt very much that Swindon would be having blocks cast themselves and have designed a brand new engine just for this application, especially as they are only £25k a piece.

So.... IMO, it must be production based (which is the whole idea of the NGTC formula) but, what is it? Who's engine is it to begin with?
