So when can we expect to see the new Mk car?

I must admit, I've heard some interesting rumours of late along this subject, not sure I want to post what I've heard and stir things up too much though

Ned.

Yeah i have been thinking about asking for days, thought i might as well ask.

I know it's been dubbed the 'gt2' by many who've talked about it....

.....it's rumoured to be slightly larger than a gt1 and be based around car engines.....

but you didn't hear that from me

yours,

Basil Brush.

Just noticed there's a competition to name this new car on the mkownersclub site:

Ned.

New MK!

Some of you must read Which Kit?

If so you will have read about the new AGM WLR car. You will also have noticed where the chassis of the car came from!

All that body-work must weigh quite a bit surely?

Neil.

Not that much plus it's fitted with a Cosworth engine.

Very nice looking car.....

.....maybe when I've finished the Indy!

Nick

It looks shockingly shite with an enclosed roof on it...

Personal opinion of course, but I'm definitely right...

the headlight at least are minted! and the roof reminds me a bit of a Z3M roadster, with the funny arse end... gorgeous.

The cosworth engine is an 'option' you can fit whatever takes your fancy. Even a bike engine if your that way inclined.

I think a nice Honda VTEC unit would be ideal IMHO.

Cheers

Dissapointed it's a Cosworth motor in it though. I thought most of these were overpriced and were now defunct. I was expecting something light and clever.

Perhaps a 998cc supercharged 2 stroke diesel flat 12?

I didn't say they weren't powerful. Far from it.

Neil

I knew that

Am I right in guessing that this car will have a LMP-style body and a roof? If so, then thats EXACTLY what I've been looking for GT1-type styling with a roof (no I don't care how hard it is to get in and out of). I guess I'm somewhat of a high-speed junkie compared to you English-types, but I like good aerodynamics, since thats the only way these low-HP cars are going to reach high speeds compared with a heavier high HP car. In the US it seems like 800HP Supras, Mustangs, Corvettes, etc. are everywhere.

Mid-engine is also nice, as it means that broken driveshafts (I plan on having unnecisarly large amounts of power) won't cut off anyone's legs.
