What did you guys think of the Prodrive car this week? It was one place below the second Koenigsegg on the board, but I'm not sure if that was the CCX without the wing or the old model Koenigsegg. They were talking about it relative to the Subarus and Mitsubishi Evos, as it was faster than the 400bhp Evo with 60 bhp less, thanks to their 4wd electronics on the car. It was more impressive to me that a 340bhp car was up there at the top close to the Koenigsegg and the others up there like the Zondas, Porsches, Ferraris and Astons. Still, they aren't going to go into production with it, and it was as augly as a bulldog chewing a wasp. The rocking back and forward on the suspension when it was going around looked a bit strange too, but I think they said that was the 4wd shunting the power around the wheels.
, but the Koenigsegg in question was the first one to come out, the CC8. But bhp is irrelevent imo, the fastest cars to lap the track have had a lot less power than the cars that top the powerboard, there's a lot more to designing a road car than track times and a lot more to designing either a road or track car than power. The fact that it doesn't have a lot of power yet manages that time is great, it shows great engineering, but it's not a bad reflection on other cars that it's nearly as fast as but have more power. Track perfomance is only a single aspect of what a car can be good or bad at and not the one that I have based any of my purchases on.
