$240,000 allegedly.

It doesnt go yet.

I had a close inspection of it at Goodwood and it doesnt have an engine, gearbox diffs or management yet. Colin said that he was waiting for millingtons new head for the engine, and that developement would take place in due course.

You can have it in 2wd or 4wd.

Colin has just released his new range of clothing, no doubt we will see the Squirrel clad in some new togs.

It wont be as expensive as st3ph3n says but at 25000 a throw for a millington engine, I cannot see it being a snip.

This video on his webpage is great, listen to what he says, lol

Thank you

"The main aim with the R4 is to make it highly reliable and cheap to run, so that owner-drivers can rally or compete in it at a relatively low cost - perhaps in a dedicated one-make series, currently under discussion - although the initial purchase price is quite hefty - the team is aiming for a starting price of around £130,000 for the 340bhp model, with the following higher-powered variants coming in at the £150,000 mark"

£25K engine. 6 speed box + trick diffs front and back isn't going to be cheap either surely.

It all adds up.

One of the highpowered ones is supposeldy 700bhp. Which would be nucking futs.

Do you reckon they will loan the Stig one for a shot round the test track.

Even when it all goes mammeries up, Colin still keeps it nice and cool.
