    The roof 'scoop' is an air intake for ventilation for the driver and co-driver. Standard feature on most modern rally cars. Where your road car has dashboard air vents, rally cars have the same thing in the roof instead.

    Prodrive will sell as many of the S2000 Spec cars and WRC cars as they can. Cost for the new generation WRC cars which will be based on 1600cc turbocharged engines (they are currently 2000cc turbo.) will be around £250,000 instead of the £500,000 for the current spec WRC cars..... so order 2 !! You simply need to place your order with Prodrive and they will sell you one...

    They are not mid engined but same configuration as a road car.

    cheers

    Aaaaaa right just for ventilation, see I was going to get one as you said only £250,000 but that Vent would just fill up with rain on the drive...
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
