From Cosworth web site:
"Cosworth start with all the individual brand new, Geniune Ford components. The lightweight aluminium cylinder block and cylinder head are expertly modified and then assembled with Cosworth camshafts, Cosworth forged pistons and rods (on applications), Cosworth barrel throttle, Cosworth dry sump, Hi flow injectors, race alternator, starter, coils, spark plugs.
Cosworth Duratec engines are hand built assembled in the same build-shop as Cosworth's Formula One engines along other Cosworth race engines."
am impressed with dry sump which should make an appreciable difference to center of gravity?

engine is mounted lower due to dry sump, moving center of gravity lower down .. possibly!

Some of it I like, some I definitely do not, I thought it would be a silver.
What is the rear dome all about? I would want a serious test drive to see how that new rear suspension handles before buying. Improving the lights is a good idea, but not with those headlights and spots, there are aesthetically nicer ones out there. I think its OTT on price which is the bottom line for me.

It would be nice if they offered the rear suspension as an option for standard Trads

I suspect much of the additional cost is due to the Cosworth engine

I see that not only have they got door handles on the outside but it would also appear they have door handles inside as well. Not much has been made of this innovation so far. It must be a first for the trad range to feature these.

Well all I'll say is that I'm glad I've spent the money I'd put aside for possibly changing Nero for the AR P4, on a Cayman and keeping Nero instead!
