Fucking awesome! I love Colin and everything he does..

It looks like a rally car, sounds like a rally car.. I hope its street legal in the US!

Any word if any big car manufacturers are lending him a helping hand? (prodrive/suburu?)

i guess the weight will be light for a 4wd and 2.5l NA 350hp is bound to be some nice screamer..

Very cool! Is it mid-engine? Looks kind of like a tricked out mid-engine Reneault Clio.
