    Good stuff here and I like their measured approach; running a limited season in 2011 to fully develop the car before a full season charge for a championship in 2012!!!

    The pictures in the link provided in the second comment are really cool. I like it and it looks to me like it can do the job. I guess "Prodrive" is the "John Cooper Works" of today. :Thumbsup:

    BTW: That wing is interesting.

    Where are you seeing 2 turbos?

    Rules limit it to a single one.

    I like it a lot:D. But then I looked at other photos of the auto show and saw the new Ford Fiesta. Needless to say, seeing those 2 cars back to back makes me have difficulties getting my mind wrapped around the Countryman's proportions all over again:eek:ut:
