I've been looking, and the only thing I've found so far that comes close is the Infiniti Q50, assuming that photo is of a current model.

Blimey! I never even thought of that. Found that pic on a social networking site.

It's certainly a lot closer than anything I could come up with... did some further close looking and found this:
http://image.motortrend.com/f/wot/14...-engine-02.jpg - seems spot on to me. Especially if you look closely at the exposed metal near the top of the image and compare it to the original pic. Good call, sir, I reckon... |

In what context did you find the picture, is it BTCC related? A Q50 is a large car to run, it's between a 3-series and a 5-series sizewise.

It's being created as a showcar, and that's a photo of it at the company which makes the majority of the NGTC body kits. Whether it's like the Megane from last year trying to get interest or its a genuine showcar for a team like the ones created by Dynamics, Ciceley and Power Maxed I don't know.

EDIT But there will be an Infiniti Q30 in 2015. If I remember well it's based on the Mercedes A-class. |

Well with Motorbase loosing Airwaves sponsorship, that could certainly affect Gio's chances of staying there, unless a 'big' sponsor is found to replace them.

What's the betting AMD pickup the Crabbies Racing Focus and it's TBL ? Would be the logical step if they want to expand their team to a two car operation...

you suggest Motorbase will also change cars and ditch the Ford ?
otherwise why would Clark leave Motorbase to join an smaller and less experience team like AMD ?? |

I don't think Clarke will be back... or that motorbase will have the budget to run 3 cars.
AMD already have one Ford, so why not buy the other ? |

Would motorbase have the funds to develop new cars and keep Gio without a new main sponsor...?
Of course, it all becomes academic if there is a new big sponsor waiting in the wings I guess. |

Bonnet doesn't fit right. I'm pretty sure it's the Infiniti, as sussed out by pimmy.

Oh. Then all we need is Paul Hollywood to vanish, and take Phillip Glenister with him and I'll finally have some, ahem, me moments with my other half!
Seriously, I'm not surprised if this should be true. The car is now several years old, well quite a bit of it is, and has never really delivered on merit I'm no engineer, but it's got a pretty big platform and they've never really had the cash to test/unlock whatever potential it may have. Please note, I did say "if this should be true". |

Shedden just said on live TV to ITV4 that he'd love to race the new Honda Civic Type R next season and he'd try hard to make it happen. Hint hint...

Shedden staying with Honda was never in doubt, if Neal stays is a different question
probably they didn't even bother to fix Neal's car cos the Tourer will be gutted anyway EDIT so Turks confirmed he will be back in 2015 with no 1 on his car Last edited by porsche962fan; 12 Oct 2014 at 17:29. |
