Wow, and it makes that power with no boost.

Not talking about the price,im not a buyers guide,not 320 hp but at last turbot'd and about 250 hp in the first place (cause its a very light car) would have been more logical than the normal GT86 we have now which any hot hatch could walk all over it.

The price 27k of the normal one is nonsense anyway. (as over-discused before)

Love the looks on this car including the wing. 320bhp isnt bad at all considering the weight is reasonably light. Cant see many people adopting a sc and a turbo though due to cost.

Indeed. And then the magazines would put it up against the Cayman and conclude that the interior plastics aren't as nice to lick.

Besides which it would have the kind of fuel consumption and CO2 outputs which Toyota doesn't want ruining its corporate average in Europe and Subaru is desperate to get away from. And would cost a fortune to fuel, tax and insure. If you want something like this, it's going to make a lot more sense to modify the car yourself.

Utterly fantastic. Looks brilliant (wing aside) and that's a serious hike in power. Be interesting to see prices of this....is Gazoo in house like TRD of old? Or are they sort of like Brabus? Not official but bloody close?

The problem with that though, is you have to be seen driving a 12 year old Corsa.

Drive one. It will change your point of view on that...and I am talking from experience.

Its specs would actually put it up against the Cayman R or even the basic 911C2.

If it was "over-discussed" you would have got the price right.

Wonder why they needed / decided on both a turbo and supercharger, would have thought one or the other would have got the job done and kept weight and complication to a minimum.
Probably the only way to keep up with Ronin in the canyons.

So, I presume that kit is between £7-10k's worth. This is now in the mid £30k bracket. Not so cheap now.

Looks like a mini LFA. Not a bad thing mind. I thinks its one of the better tuning attempts.
