Went to the Ring this weekend and spotted this, looked CEC and possibly turbo'd as had some kind of intercooler.
looked quiet heavy though.

Yeah was great fun thanks, didn't take the MNR due to the weather, but my Seat Ibiza cupra Tdi went well.

That looks donkervorty/daxy.

I love the diffuser, not sure how aerodynamic it is, but you have to admire the quality of workmanship that's gone into making it.

Shame I can't say the same for the handbrake lever, kinda ruins it a bit for me. With a car that well made you might expect to see something made from machined aluminium or the like.

Not sure that roll hoop is carbon fibre, if you look at the close up of the rear quarter, you can see a join in the carbon, looks like it may be carbon fibre effect sheet over a metal roll hoop.

No matter, a VERY nice car indeed.

Got a pic of the suspension, looked like cast iron hubs?

cortina hubs

Probably a high cost locost by the looks of it.


Blackbird Rush - 8/7/09 at 09:11 PM

Its the original dax rush (Gorgus?) before dax built it in the UK (think its german in origin) but the nose looks like a donkervort item.....

Could be an Irmscher 7

It's a Mohr Rush

Mohr and Dax developed the Rush together in the beginning and then they went their own way

Its the German equivalent to the DAX Rush

aweful aeroscreen though, imo.

It's steel made to look like carbon, but it's unbraced so not likely to be very effective.

Car has a few nice touches, the aeroscreen for one, but not keen on the sharp alloy angle used on the interior, and the rear track is comically wide.

Definately real carbon - but yeah, most probably wrapped around a normal metal roll bar.
