Jcw challenge - autocar

Like a very much!!!! Cloth seats, 17" wider rims..... Mmmmmm...... Good job this wasn't available 6 weeks ago or I'd be £9k lighter!!!!!

Looks great with the lowered stance and Team Dynamics Pro Race alloys...

A shame there isn't a small power hike unlike the Challenge 210 over the S though

but why have they put the std, non-visual boost stereo in there?

Because some of us actually only enjoy driving our JCW's more than being distracted by another screen/electronic gizmo that will be outdated long before the car! Don't knock the radio....it's perfectly fine when I even use it! Radio delete should be an option just like the rear seats! This car is simply an experiment.....something anybody can do! Looks like it does have back up sensors though (in the rear diffuser)..? makes no sense!

Not 100% sure if I am serious or not, given the 17"s, and talk of 2.5kg unsprung mass saving per corner, and what looks like a very low spec (AC controls for example). If the car is a stripped track toy, it looks a bit half baked, because there is loads that shouldn't be in their, rear seats, speakers etc, if they where going for weight saving. So just not sure what the car is, thats all.

this has been picked up from a magazine so it could be a test mule rather than the finished article. it does seem an odd mix of spec in those pics

agreed, a notional nod to 250+bhp with the Pro Exhaust would be a bigger seller for the wannabe race car on the road crowd than parking sensors.... (ie. me >)

More write up on it here.....

Pro-exhaust included by the look of this and an LSD..... that'll be a fair chunk of the ££££'s then
