Hopefully this one gets AT's approval!

We are in the process of building our new Time Attack car for the 2008 season. We are starting from a new GC8 2 door motorsport shell, pre-prepped by prodrive for conversion into a WRC shell, there are a few of these about, but this one already had a far bit of work done.

The basic spec is as follows:

2 door gc8 shell
Multi point cage with additional bracing to suspension elements
All plastic windows except front screen
Fabricated suspension links all round
4 way adjustable suspension

6 pot rear brakes
Floor mounted pedal box
2006 hubs and uprights all round
custom subframes
Composite panels except roof (for FIA events) and bonnet
FIA approved bag tank
Dual fuel setup
Mid mounted radiator
Lifeline plumbed in gas based fire extinguisher
2.4L Engine with variable cam heads
700hp
6 speed gearbox (eventually with sequential shift)
Full aero package
Front mounted turbo package as per 2007

The original Zen car bested the RC GC several times. Although, I think that was due to better driving. But their current GC is no joke.

This one sounds like it's going to be awesome. Must be nice to have a crazy budget.

So it gets your approval?
