Prodrive P2

The Prodrive P2 was a prototype two-seater sports car designed, engineered and built by Prodrive at its Banbury and Warwick sites in about nine months, as a technology demonstrator for the group's motorsport engineering. It was based on a modified Subaru R1 kei car monocoque and used the 2.0 litre turbocharged flat-four from the Impreza STi, tuned to 345 bhp, with the Prodrive Anti-Lag System and the Active Torque Dynamics system that steers torque through active centre and rear differentials. Peter Stevens, who styled the McLaren F1, drew the body. The car reached 174 mph and 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds when tested on Top Gear. Prodrive said it could have retailed for about 40,000 pounds but had no plans to put it into production, and the car is kept in the company's Heritage Collection in Banbury.
