Nissan Altima and Mercedes C Class would be my guess...

At least they'll be fast out of the box (dependiing on who is driving them...)

As at the time I made the statement, to which you refer, that was indeed the case.

Pace Innovations have now supplied Chassis #22 as a Hyundai I45, and the car is now under construction here in New Zealand.

I can also say that its a very spectacular looking race car, as those people who have seen the car have all commented. The wheelbase of the standard car has not had to be stretched, shortened, or made wider to fit the standard ST chassis, it would be fair to say that the body fits the chassis like the proverbial glove.

I guess he wasn't ready for it to be public. But now he's been seen lying about it. Why come on here at all if that was the case.

The finished car will be shown, but not raced, at the third V8ST round, on the 25/26th May next, at Pukekohe.

What part of Mark's statement was lying pray tell? At the time he made his first statement it was true, and although nothing more was said on the matter for whatever commercial reasons, there were no un-truths there. I think you are just trolling to be frank.

Don't even start with that nonsense.

Sidewayz · 20 Mar 2013, 20:43 (Ref:3221914)

Sorry team. Guess it was just my interpretation. But it was stated on a old thread that they was no Hyundai being built.

I'll go back to the side line now.

Goat Boy · 20 Mar 2013, 21:30 (Ref:3221947)

That is not what he said at all, so yes you can go back to the sideline, it is probably more comfortable there.

agree. surely someone on here can share a pic with us????

Great news. The relative ease with which another manufacturer can build a car is one of the advantages of the Supertourer concept. I wonder how much effort & testing is required to equalise the aero across all silhouettes? Once the spec front splitter/rear wing/diffuser are added are they already similar in that regard or is more work required?

It won't happen but I would like to see a Skoda Superb Supertourer.

Beemer 5 Series?

For the record, we do expect to see a 4th manufactures body introduced before the end of this year. Whilst I am obviously aware of the potential customer and the 4th manufacture's intended V8ST body shape, it is not our place to reveal who and when this is planned to happen.

MS Fan · 21 Mar 2013, 02:28 (Ref:3222056)

You are such a tease Mark

Goat Boy · 21 Mar 2013, 03:01 (Ref:3222064)

Chrysler 300C would look pretty mean...

Goat Boy · 21 Mar 2013, 03:02 (Ref:3222065)

What's cool is that it would seem that any of the current teams running Falcodore shells could change them to another shape relatively easily.

HProject · 21 Mar 2013, 03:16 (Ref:3222069)

Did someone say "PHOTOS"?

Got a pic at the top-secret Pukekohe test session yesterday...

adbutler · 21 Mar 2013, 03:21 (Ref:3222071)

You disappoint PM, are you conspiracy theorist?

Mark said, and I quote, "As at the time I made the statement, to which you refer, that was indeed the case."

You're like Agent 86 who said "I missed the part after you said Listen carefully Max"
