New Westfield launch - 9th August- PistonHeads Annual Service @ Bicester Motion

[DIY-Si]

I'll put money on it being a tuned 2L Duratec (maybe by Cosworth from a rumour I've heard, so far from concrete), and brand new engines too, as I believe the factory need to be able to produce 100% new vehicles.

 

Otherwise, I can only agree with others expressing their disappointment at how little the club have been told about this ahead of the preview. I understand that existing owners maybe make a poor target audience for selling a new car, but there's a lot of value in word of mouth and opinion.

 

I'm still waiting on the new XI that was supposed to be here last year as well!

The original brief the factory gave was for the top engine option to be ~2 litre, 16 valve, high reving 8k plus, or thereabouts and NA. 
 

Be interesting to see how much, if any of that’s been carried through.

Rumours linking BMW engines. No specifics.

Yeah, can’t help noticing a BMW lurking in the background of a few of their photos surrounding the project…
