there was an article in CCC a few months back.
the 4wd (?) GT car is no longer legal under the current regulations (I believe)
the road cars project is not happening (again I believe) but if you have deep enough pockets they can build you a road or race version of the car they campaigned. (?)
but then someone would have to fund the development to make the car competitive in 2wd format.
plus under the current rules you need to have a road legal production car available to comply with the regs.

They're one of my clients. They are doing very well but their only complete cars are their own race cars they really specialise in competition and one off drive shafts, gear boxes and engineering solutions along with possible the best solution I have ever seen seen for a support vehicle.
They have basically taken a Sprinter Van and added on a take off from the drive shaft and a change over box all under the vehicle which then takes the drive and feeds it to a generator and compressor all plumbed under the vehicle with a very thin cooling matrix on the roof what it means is they can park up throw over the drive shaft via a lever in the cab set the engine revs at a high tickover and hay presto they have enough power and compressed air via a distribution panel on the inside of the back door to run an entire mobile workshop with the back of the van still free and no towed generator/compressor. Their bread and butter is stuff like this so although they have a good name in motorsport their other engineering solutions do very well (if the vehicle converstion is taken up by the likes of McNicolas etc it can do away with the need for towed compressors and make a packet)
