Pah. That's an engine display stand shaped like an Austin Mini.
Though all the loco prime movers I've seen are either blown or Single-turbo...

erm...12
78 litres, V18 w/3500hp and 14,000 Nm torque 
"We never like to let a challenge go by unanswered so we got to thinking maybe we could fit the QSK78 into an original Austin Mini. It proved to be a bit tricky to fit under the bonnet but our engineers came up with a more creative solution."
usually in one of these
now, onto an easily overlooked machine at goodwood
It's the kind of thing so easy to miss unless something catches your eye

That Transit Van has an XJ220 engine under the hood, or just the wheels?

IN the back, where you'd stow cargo. :3
But, yeah, we've seen it. Wouldn't call it questionable, myself. I'd do the same thing, only with a '91 Dodge Ram Van and a 540ci Mercury Racing 1350.

I'd imagine so. It's Goodwood's own van. It's essentially an XJ220 with a Transit van body.
I thought this was a well-known vehicle? It's been around for donkey's years - built by TWR in the 90s as an XJ220 mule, for testing the drivetrain in the city. Genius if you think about it - no-one would ever look twice at a Transit, but it'd be impossible to take an XJ220 prototype around a town centre without everyone stopping and staring. Apparently it was also lighter than the XJ220 and hit 60mph quicker - and recorded 179mph at Millbrook.

Is the drainpipe on the roof secretly a ram-air scoop then?

Sorry to bring up something on the previous page, but does anyone else find it funny that the car with "8 UR VTEC" as its plate has a proud owner standing beside it with a Honda belt buckle?

Why do you think I posted it, besides the double intercooler. I laughed when I saw the car at the track, people were staring at me like I was crazy.
