Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - 2001 ZTS - 01-11-2006 Official Pics: Prodrive P2 (Impreza based Super Car "345bhp") Prodrive boss David Richards says his firmâs P2 sports car has proved its engineering abilities â even though the Banbury-based operation has no plans to put the two-seater into production. The P2, which is scheduled to make its first public appearance at this weekendâs Autosport International Racing Car Show in Birmingham, is based on Subaru running gear. The size of an MGF, its 345bhp tweaked Impreza engine propels it to 174mph and from 0-60mph in just 3.8 seconds. The car also features Prodriveâs own anti-lag and active torque dynamics systems. Richards says the project, which only received the green light in March, has been a rewarding exercise for his staff. âOne of the P2 teamâs biggest achievements, apart from meeting the schedule, has been making a car that looks right, despite all of todayâs limitations,â said Richards. âIâve learned a lot about the constraints on designers in this process.â The Peter Stevens-styled P2 is set to start testing in February but Richards insists there are no plans for a production run. âThe idea of the P2, apart from showcasing our engineering abilities, was to demonstrate to the staff what they can achieve when they are pulling together on one project,â he said. âIâm confident it has achieved that.â Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - Flofocus - 01-11-2006 Jebus that is fawkin ugly. :blink: But its fast, so it's ok. :P :lol: Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - Euro Ford Fan - 01-11-2006 :huh: :huh: WTF Fast or not OMG that thing is so ugly!! Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - darkpuppet - 01-11-2006 that's not ugly... those are lines that sleek right out to murcielago proportions on accelleration. They had to do that so you'd actually see the thing leave a stop light instead of just appearing to teleport from one to the next. I agree with 2001 ZTS, I need a kleenex (I'll get my own thanks). Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - FocusGuy7476 - 01-11-2006 this what happens when engineers design a car. Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - 2001 ZTS - 01-11-2006 It won't happen but it is what the next STi should be. They've been too long without a Coupe. Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - NOS2Go4Me - 01-11-2006 The worst part is that they actually won't produce it, but they'll build and test one anyways. What a letdown. I'd have to seriously bust my butt to afford it, but I'd nix other plans to get one. That's just plain sexy. Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - S2 - 01-11-2006 Ugliest car I've seen lately but I 'respect' the power aspect very much so..... Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - ANTHONYD - 01-11-2006 IT WOULD BE GOING BY YOU TOO FAST TO SEE HOW UGLY IT WAS.... Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - nass - 01-11-2006 those styling cue are sharp and that engine looks like a rats nest. But yeah the faster you go the better it looks Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - mo_focus - 01-11-2006 Reminds me of the Group B rally cars. Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - microbunny - 01-11-2006 I like it! Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - PerfectSaiyan - 01-12-2006 now THATS a concept, its pretty nice, except a 'supercar' at only 345hp? I thought 500+hp was supercar worthY? Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - djrard - 01-12-2006 omg :puke: Pass Me A Kleenex, I Just Gooed Myself - Frost__2001 - 01-12-2006 Looks like a Mitsu, Eclipse on drugs!

I thought 500+hp was supercar worthY? I don't think the HP matters much. it's more of a total performance deal. Going fast is only part of the equation. I bet that car is nice and light |
