Yikes! This is going to challenged the old order. Not certain about the fitting of such a small engine, then again that is what the Japs are renowned for. Interesting to see what the engine will rev to.

1.3 turbo in a light weight car will be no slouch. Glanza v is that it it would beat a stock 1.6 hands down.

Yeah , saw lots of different versions of the proposed new one. Some nice, some no so but its gonna be light.
Most manufacturers are going with smaller turbo'd engines to pass very strict emmision regs coming
out so the tuning industry are eagerly awaiting the new one.

I like the way they have shaved off the round shapes around the wheelarches and made it more like mk1 and 2. Me like. Then again, one never knows before it comes closer to the release of a new generation.

Now that is pretty sweet (on the fence about the grill on the front wing though).
