Scaling down (and developing) a platform has very little to do with size of the finished car. More to adapt the construction (plus 8 solution in this case) to the different weight, load and bhp/torque figures. When developing a new plattform it is also a golden opportunity to take a step away from the traditional "component+bracket+fitting - thinking" and think more "integrated" and clever solutions (exhaust, tank, engine, gearbox, glass, being a part of the load carrying constuction). Resulting in a lighter and faster to build/service car...To do all this and to still keep the heritage alive and the "vintage" trad enthusiasts will be the great challenge. Ohhh glorious future wine
