The Dahlback Polo, gone is the humdrum four cylinder engine and in its place an Audi Rs4 sourced 2.7 litre V6 with a single (BIG) turbocharger which boosts to 2.4bar. The result? 990BHP and 1220Nm (circa 900ft/lbs)
It is also a full carbon bodied car and weighs in at 913KGs

I hate these threads. Every post makes me feel that slotting an LS3 V8 into my MX5 is perfectly sensible.

I hardly dare ask, but what's your budget? I'm telling myself it would be £10k plus and therefore I should just buy a Z4M instead...
All the parts to do the conversion can be bought from a couple of specialists in the USACheck out the Flyin Miata site.

Atleast do it properly with the ev12 brabus one irocfan said:
