Depends what that v6 weighs.

Whole point of the vx220 is being light, that could make a mess of the handling.

Yeah but the V6 ain't gonna weigh enough to outweigh an extra 130 BHP mate...

Power to weight. the V6 probs weighs 50kg extra with that blower on it too. added interior probs brings it up to about 100kg. I think an extra 130bhp plus a shit load more torque will more than make up for the weight increase.

it could do, also it seems to have extra stuff on it over the normal model. the turbo version is something like 4.2 0-60 iirc? this cant be much faster then that if at all

The 1.6 16V out of the 106 GTI/VTS is a very underated engine also....

Seems way over priced to me. Like the interior but can't help but thinking the steering wheel/casing looks awful - needs to be the same colour really.

In gear times over a standard VX220T will be vastly superiour.

Don't forget, Noble power theirs with a 3.0 V6 Mondeo blown engine.... This isn't much different.

Its it the same class as the Lotus Europa and such, not the VX220/Elise class.

Whilst you are talking about tuned engines (warrenty void), this is a 300+bhp engine (so already 80bhp up on a VX220T), with a huge amount more torque.

And its quite a few years old in design, im sure I saw this in 06 region...

Nice car, and u'd have the only one on the road (people will pay a premiums just for that), but I wouldn't own it, i'd rather the Europa.
