Could a modern Integra Type R be done?
Discussion
Just out of interest, with safety regs as they are these days, could a mainstream car maker ever produce something like the ITR again?
I was just thinking to myself how MG could do with something like this..... be it produced from the MG5 concept or from a shortened, 3 door version of the MG6 perhaps?

Some good points.
I don't really care about the FWD/RWD thing in this discussion. Although I said "modern ITR", I could live with RWD if someone wanted to make something similar. The main thing really, was whether a regular manufacturer, i.e. not Lotus and the like, could make something so focused these days?
The safety regs I was talking about include things like having airbags in every conceivable place they can go! Side of the seats, the pillars, the dash etc. etc.
Will a manufacturer ever again turn over one of their regular, mundane cars to the engineers and say "Here you go lads, make this car fun"?
