LDP Courtesy Bus
(208hp/155kw @ 4,400rpm) (341Nm/252ft-lbs @ 4,400rpm) (931kg) (PP)
Description: So you've just dropped your car off at Lion's Den Performance to have modifications done and you've got no way of getting home? Perhaps you think we'll drive you home in one of the supercars we have lying around? Come on, get realistic! Besides, we may have more than one person to transport. Allow us then to introduce the LDP Courtesy Bus. At first look you'll notice a lowered stance, Lion's Den Performance team colours and a new set of rims. It's not until our insane bus driver takes you for a ride, that you realise it's so much more than a hippie van, and that you actually love solid ground more than you realised before. Yep, this bus has got a turbocharged motor that puts out 208hp, and it only weighs just under 1,000kg. Of course, with that power it's not the acceleration that'll make you wary, it's the handling. We've modified the suspension in such a way that means it's now far more controllable at the limit while at the same time allowing for some fun not normally associated with grip driving. Our insane driver will show his unsuspecting passengers this ability before reaching their destination. The bus is no slouch though, for a vehicle of this type being able to keep up with the lower echelon of sports cars is impressive, another feature the driver will be happy to show you should you pass by any track days on the trip.

Tuner's Notes:
Shift at around 4,500rpm
Turbo lag is a mega issue, so launches will lose you a lot of ground. It's important to keep the revs up through each corner. Although it's possible to stand it in on the brakes and even break out the rear end, you'll soon learn that's it's better to brake early and maintain a high mid-corner speed, keeping up that momentum so you can keep up the engine speed.
Seating for 7 passengers.
