👎 sorry i didn´t know what i was writing there, of course the audi R8R, R 00/01/02 HAD V8s FSI-engines---also all Bentleys i was just....dunno elsewhere look:
tigre_hobbesFrance has never made a sportscar? perhaps but they made the fastest Le Mans car ever
And look at the WRC in the past few years : 2000 pug 2001 pug 2002 pug 2003 citroen 2004 citroen ! pretty good huh?
And check whose motor won most of the GP during the '90 years
: renault!
And just wait till the end of the week and you will see how fast a french car can be!
( don't forget to watch australian gp)
By the way, can someone ( rotary_freq, legendmaster?) tell us where do you win the pug 905? And its specifications please?
tigre_hobbesDid you see? Last sunday a french car winning the australian GP?
I told you

SambertoA little bit of Photoshop funÂ…
-I have been enjoying the Pug and Jag for the last few days.
Two concerns: despite a more than respectable power to weight ratio, the 905 laps well below its real world potential.
-PD has seen fit to lump the XJR-9 with the dubious engine sample from the BMW LMR. Disappointing.
Ok, back to frisky fun in the silkcutless.
tigre_hobbesLittle tribute to the 905 :
and last but not least the evo2 (pretty rare) :

SambertoPossible that PD was under instruction from Mercedes. They want us to remember the success in the FIA-GT championshipÂ…but to forget about the poor showing at Le Mans 1998. Hence the fudging of the name.
Merc motorsport boss Norbert Haug on LM 1998:
“We just did a bad job…we hope that it doesn’t happen again.” Little did he know about the fun to come with the CLR.
There are significant differences between the two cars:
-CLK GTR = 6.0lt V12.
-CLK-LM =6.0lt V8. (thunderous sound)
The differences in body work are also substantial. Note the intakes on the LM (highlighted in red.) Note bumper design and the altered low drag body work that GT Freak has referred to.
Incidentally, the V12 GTR was unlockable with a cheat device in GT2.
SambertoIt is my view that the car is in fact an obscure subtly updated 88-CV that may have raced or tested in early 1989 before the model change. It is of note that the GT4 car differs from regular 88C-Vs in that the front wing/nose section is not recessed. The ground hugging front wing is of course a feature that appeared on the 89C-V. Further, if we look at the sponsorship above the headlights (minolta) we can see that it has changed from CIBIE to KoiTo. This is also a feature of the 89CV.
Nonetheless, the GT4 version shares a closer resemblance to the 1988 CV than the 1989 CV. Note the rounder headlight coverings, the lack of side intakes, the different exhaust system/positioning and importantly the differences in bodywork (squared-off rear end highly prominent on 89CV).
Hence, we can be certain that the car is not an 89C-V. Now to find some photographs of the mysterious 88C-V that features in GT4Â…
