Speechless.

Whatever happenned to the rumored larger version of the G12 with V6 power?

the ecoboost 2litre is supposed to have 'similar power and torque as a 3 litre v6 but with 20% better fuel consumption and cleaner emmissions'

Any more details or photos?
Is it transversely mounted with the Ford OE transmission?
Is this the 'New G12 Ecoboost powered' in the news about 1 year ago?
No info on the Dare web site yet...

it is the same chassis and layout as an original G12. mid mounted, longitudinal, with suitable gearbox (such as a hewland type)

Dare still have an all new mid engined car in development



I agree Rene, the power to weight is incredible, the G12 was quick enough when it had 160 hp, let alone 280! (this car would be around 650kg)
I did have a sit in it, and leg room wasnt too bad, but pedals are quite offset in the G12

you mean the clutch leg can be straigth but the gas leg have to go far to the left?

in such case it would be fine in LHD

but then I never seen a LHD G12 believe...

the pedal box is offset towards the centre of the car, so feels strange at first
i think LHD would be possible, as they did do that for G4, and guess it would be simpler to do in a G12

i havnt heard anything for a while..

not sure if they completed it

[geeeman]

Id agree

[geeeman]

Yes dare do continuation cars for fia racing
I would estimate 70-90 k for a g4/12

Another option is find a used dare roadcar and convert to historic spec, or use as is.
