Looks good, but I liked the first version more

[MartijnGizmo]

The old one was stolen right? Can't wait to see some vids of it. :)

The old one was crashed during the 2004 edition of the Gumball rally

Yeah I remember that, it flipped over didn't it?

Well good to see the new one back, will it be together with the Sierra Reyland Cosworth again? 8)

it flipped and rolled and was generally trashed.

[pagani]

This version way better than old one in every way like engine aerodynamics chassis brakes etc.
The engine is good for almost 700 hp.
I believe the reyland sierra is back.
Engineering wise this car is overkill.
:D :o

[Pehtren]

Looks sweet 8)

Any informations of its abilities?

[pagani]

I think this car will run high 9 sec run/very 10 sec run on the dragstrip.
But this car is made for circuit driving/trackdays that's strong point of this car not made for a dragstrip.
:D :o

[Global Warming]

FWD or RWD?

[RC45]

That would be AWD or RWD... ;)

[Global Warming]

That would be AWD or RWD... ;)

There has been a RWD escort?

There has been a RWD escort?

I lost interest in the Escort when it went FWD... ;)

Thats why they used to race the old Escort /\/\ in the rallysport, and still are. Because of rear wheel drive.

Ahhh, the person who painted that car is about to re-spray mine. There is also a sister car to that reyland, well, there will be. It is currently being painted :wink: (edit: as per pagani's post)

Let me see if I can get some pics!

[jon_s]

Hahah, I wish.

That is THE Relyand Sierra; sister car to the Escort. The only link I have to the Reyland cars is the fact I am using the same person to paint may car wither BMW Le Mans Blue or Ferrari TDF Blue. :wink:

[TopGearNL]

They can switc between rwd and awd drive the have os giken gearbox this one few gearboxes that can do it.
Rwd mode is show off or putting heat in the tires awd is trackrace and hard launching and all the other things.
:D :o

[TopGearNL]

/\/\ thats a pretty neat system

Thanks for the pics Jon S, wow those colours really beautiful, but they also lookalike alot, just with a blink of the eye thought the Ferrari looks just a bit better :wink:

But its your decision and your car :mrgreen:

And then to think that the new one is even faster :shock:

[RC45]

YOu know, as impressive as all that sounds, and as impressive as the video looks - wouldn't people be more surprised if a hugely modded, gutted interior, lightened, strengthed "race car" with plates did not go as quickly as that?

It's not exactly a comfortable daily driver anymore is it? :P ;)

[pagani]

It's road legal trackcar not a daily driver.
:D :o

Then whats the big deal?

Those types of cars are a dime a dozen... ;)
