Modification Summary
In short, the result is a 1200kg car with around 240bhp and 320lbft of torque.
Compared to the standard car, the performance is absolutely breathtaking.
The power across the mid-range makes this car an extremely easy and relaxed drive.
The reliability is faultless, all performance enhancements were done on a
“no expense spared” approach with everyday reliability being paramount.
