 Re: rover 200
I get the idea than MA's idea is to produce a car that has an outrageously high specific output from the engine. I agree, it probably would be cheaper to buy a 260bhp car outright but the point of this exercise is to defy conventional thinking.
It's like the olympics. Is the athlete who can fling a hammer 85 years the best hammer thrower in the world, or simply the best hammer thrower from amongst a group of people who have devoted the last four years of their lives mastering the throwing of hammers?
The above paragraph must be credited to Jeremy Clarkson. But, it show the point.
MA is in pursuit of technical and mechanical excellence. Buying a car with 260bhp as standard is not the objective here. |
