Keith,
Yes they do. 20v turbo EV4 1.8 Turbo VRS Octavia. Max speed from Mfr blurb is 146 mph. Thames Valley and Southampton/portsmouth area motorway plods have them.
Skoda is a VW/Audi company anyway which I'm sure you knew.

Re: RCR-Prototype......
Looks similiar to the SAKER. www.sakermotorsports.com

SAKER also makes a street version. Their roller list for $45k.

Hi Alain... can't wait to see how your new adventure unfolds.

Re: RCR-Prototype......
Louis
the Saker is a cool little car indeed.

The RCR-P is its own car taking only inspiration for its shape from the KUDZU DG-2 ...the cockpit is 4 inches wider with a flatter roof/rear deck profile
This allows a comfortable cockpit for two full grown adults.

The RCR-P roller package WILL sell for less than 30k USD.

Fran,

Any time you want to leak out any more information on the Prototype you certainly can! Is there a possibility of making it an open top?

2Fast,
I believe if you want a Nissan 3.5 V-6, the powertrain should come the Maxima SE (transverse mounted). Now you got me thinking....

Re: RCR-Prototype......
How about a blown Ztec 4 banger ford. Then we can run it at all the cobra club track days and be a ford powered car. Man you would NEVER have to do any drivetrain maintance on it. Just load it up on the trailer and drive it. I bet you could get by with one 8 gallon fuel cell.

My mind is spinning over this car. Can't sleep thinking about how to fit it out. I haven't been this much in love since Sally Sievy in the 4th grade!

What size tires would you recommend with lets say 250HP and a limited slip diff?

What does the rolling chassis weight less power-train?

Where does the fuel tank/cell go?

I play the loto every time now. If I win enough its all going into a track car based on this car and my wife's car is going out on the driveway forever!!!!
