  • this'll is the rental McGann RS trophy are.

  • It has 296 brake horsepower from a 1.8 litre turbo.

  • It weighs 140 kilograms less than the trophy.

  • It's the fastest ever front wheel drive car around the Nurburgring, and only 500 will ever be built, of which just 32 are coming to the UK.

  • Prices start at £51,000 or £63,000.

  • If you want carbon wheels, one more 30 will be offered, like this car here with the Nurburgring record pack, which includes, among other things, ceramic brakes and costs £72,140 which is rather a lot for hope.

  • Hotch, but this isn't a hot hatch.

  • As we know.

  • It's probably got more in common with track focused super cars like the Porsche GT three Rs than it does the focus S t.

  • So here's what we're gonna do.

  • We're gonna go through the bits that make that price not quite as scary as it first seems.

  • Starting around here in the back where we find a carbon fibre diffuser down here, 30% more surface area on that, then you get with the trophy twice.

  • The downforce on this is very cool on at propose, bitch or a cracker bitch Exhaust depending on which way you lean the pipes here a slashed and poke out of the hole cut into the diffuser so as not to scupper the air.

  • Oh, to hell with using the pipes as decoration around the front Yet Maur Aargh Madness.

  • You'll notice this knack a duct which is cut into this freakishly light carbon fibre bonnet.

  • But that doesn't feed air into the engine.

  • Now it feeds air down underneath the car to help that diffuser work more efficiently down here.

  • They've removed these lower lights instead, telling them into an extra intake to feed Maur cool air to the engine under their lithium ion batteries.

  • Because it's just that little bit lighter.

  • And this is quite interesting.

  • Now this is the bag from him again that has adaptive cruise control.

  • This car doesn't have adaptive cruise control because it without weights, but the badge is lighter than the normal one.

  • So that's where the trophy are gets on the likeness, continues the glasses thinner everywhere except for the windscreen.

  • You can't put the rear windows down and there's no rear wiper.

  • But here's where it gets really interesting, because behind there are Brembo carbon ceramic brakes when you get those on the front of the car.

  • But I can assure you it stops like you've driven into a brick wall.

  • And then there's These are totally gorgeous carbon fiber rims.

  • They save two kilograms a corner.

  • They cost three grand apiece.

  • Careful of those curbs.

  • And here's an interesting thing.

  • If you order the optional carbon fiber wheels, they don't come on the car.

  • You get red trophy wheels standard.

  • The new carbon rims are waiting for you all wrapped up where the back seats should be as stand if you get only ins dampers, adjustable through 20 klicks from softer than the trophy to firmas a race car.

  • But they also allow 16 millimeters of right hi adjustment front and rear.

  • The controversial four wheel steering system has also been been saving 40 kilograms just like that, and two degrees of camber has been added to the front wheels inside here, you can't delete the IMF attainment on air con like you used to because literally no previous trophy our customers were mad enough to do it.

  • You get the Sobell might wait seats as standard, they save 16 kilograms per seat, and I'm happy to report that they're not nearly as tortuous as that sounds.

  • These harnesses a part of the Nurburgring record pack.

  • You get a simpler center console down here that saves two kilograms.

  • You get the lowest beck screen from the began range because it's slightly lighter.

  • Alcantara on the wheel instead of leather because it's lighter, lighter, lighter, lighter.

  • You get the idea right.

  • You've got to love Red Rose commitment with this car.

  • Hot hatch.

  • The cost the same as a Porsche Cayman GT four.

  • Yeah, pretty hard to justify that, isn't it?

this'll is the rental McGann RS trophy are.
