    Are they gonna make the bodywork any meatier? Sounds like its a sportka with a different badge and a bigger engine. This sorta thing deserves some serious widearch action and such. What happened to the proper rally slag homologation special type cars that ford used to do?



    edit: you should submit this to pistonheads, autoblog etc, I dont think this has actually been seen before now.

    The arches look a little wider to me than the normal sport ka but this could be due to the angle.

    its the same kit as the sportka, but it was only a prototype, so i think they will adapt it from there!

    no pics of the engine bay at current, but if it's still there in the morning i'll snap some up!
    lol, i hope i don't get in trouble for this.

    no chance, all the cars that come in have never seen a road before apart for road tests.

    Unless you signed an NDA form (or made a similar agreement when you started working there...) you should be fine.
