Thats the one with the supercharged type-r engine.
Supercar fast car for salesman money. Rare as a supercar too. Good buy if you ask me.

NA 220bhp one isn't a PATCH on the 300bhgp supercharged on. Different league. The SC one is around £40k i think. Definatly not under £20k......
Supercar fast? You mean supercars are left in a trail of dust up to 130mph odd Far more exciting.
Not heard of a turbo one out the factory, must be an aftermarket add-on. Just a normal turbocharger kit though for that engine.
I would so own one when the numbers come in.

found this:
Although the top speed of approximately 140 mph (230 km/h)-150 mph (240 km/h) is relatively tame compared to more exotic sports cars, the high power-to-weight ratio (approximately 500 bhp/ton, or 650 bhp/ton supercharged) affords it incredible acceleration- "0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 2.9 seconds, if you can change gear fast enough" (to quote Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson)- and the low weight provides excellent control through corners.
