Project C. Lol.

"Project A and B were a complete failure. But now, ladies and gentlemen, we finally have a working hot hatch, which we shall call... Project C."
C for Carbon?

26kg reduction in unsprung weight is pretty significant, bet you can really feel it.

Most of that is the forged wheels. I'd be more impressed if they fitted a carbon fibre roof or something a bit more meaty. Otherwise it's a bit halfords drive-thru IMO.

If they did that, the price for the car would have rocketed though, as it would have fundamentally changed the car.
