MY dealer (with nobs on) (and before you forget , Charlie Skelton was the main man who supplied EVO with their long term test car) pause for breath, said they had a link with Rolls Royce who had fitted a V16 ( the V22 wouldn`t fit without bogey wheels ) Merlin supercharged but would have meant going back to worm and peg steering and the mpg was unacceptable too , so there ....
Not quite true: My mate, who knows the bloke down the pub WHO CLEANS THE DEALER CARS- (so if anyone, he should know) said its a V16, called the Vantage-Vantage, and avilable in Volante form (Vantage-Vantage Volante). The V16 will actually be 2 V8 engines, joined together (because the v12, apparently is 2 Mondeo V6 engines joined at the hip...).
The "S" version will have 6 wheels, for extra traction. Designed by the bloke who designed the still-born 6 wheeled Noble M14.5
(Or maybe, we should stop listening to hearsay and wait!)
Liar, liar pants on fire, never heard anything so ridiku , ridec, ridick,unbelievable, if it`s six wheels the extra two would have to be at the front cos of the engine`s lenth , so, if it`s for extra traction that would mean it`s front wheel drive ? Wait a mo, that could work I s`pose, Mondeo `s are fwd so the diff etc are all in place ...
Sorry, take it all back , on the blower at 9 to put an order in tout sweet.
