I assume this is 4wd?
Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
FWD driveline tech has fairly come along, I remember 200bhp being mentioned as the max to put through the front wheels and various torque-steering monsters.
Be good to keep the weight down with FWD

Maybe they have used carbon fibre to offset the weight of a 4wd system. As much as it would bout of character for the GP I have always thought a mini road going rally car would be quite cool. And you could build it to be an absolute monster like some of the golf R turbo S1s

I’m sure this’ll excite those that have placed a pre order: https://www.carscoops.com/2019/04/20...oduction-form/
Some clear photos at last of the new car.
A few things I've spotted:
New front splitters and diffuser
New grill to match LCI clubman
GP Badge on front and rear
Both front vents (where fog lights are) appear to be open
New rear diffuser and bumper
Different exhaust
Has the new LCD instrument cluster
No rear wiper
Properly impressed with that tbh.
Looks properly aggressive. Also love the embossed gp logo in the spoiler like the mk3 rs

Those front disks are HUGE !!!
I still honestly can not see the final production cars being allowed on the roads with those “cheese slicer” aero bits on the sides though.

The wrap is great, possibly my favourite part. Having fun picking out the various race tracks

Definite paddles. Tbh I'd be surprised if it doesnt come out as an auto. Especially with all of the performance bmws moving to paddle shift. Like the 140 and 240 which they stopper offering as manuals

Some angles I see the car and I really like it and others I’m not so keen. I think it being auto was a given
