The U.S just got the news, so I guess we should too.
And yes that is a SkyActiv engine, if yous haven't already read the other threads confirming it.

====
Some photos (thanks to Motor Authority) of the car actually driving. Of course it is strictly a prototype, I'm quite sure the production model will look much better.

I did a search before posting and got very few related results. So i figured it was worth making a thread about it.

Cheers.

That's just an NC shell on the new chassis so the car won't look anything like that.

You can see that the nose and wheelbase are longer though and it seems lower than an NC so all the "hard-parkers" won't have too far to go.

Not too impressed with the two small "peashooters" at the back though - that'll probably be "Mod #1".

Dann's probably already figuring out how to fit a turbo - from the looks of it, there should be more room available for one than in the NC.

Looks like adjustable damping on the top hats.
