No, the 22 litre car is new to me. What's that, 11 F20C's in a row? Now that'll upset the balance .

But seriously, I guess you meant the SS2200. No it's not new, or attractive either. The car has been arround for about a year at least, but Mugen have just got up the guts to offer the body bits as commercial products.

The increased engine capacity did bugger all for the performance. Have a look around the web for some of the write ups. SS2200

Bored 2.2litre....hmm i don't know...sounds like a formula for Turbocharging... But Mugen cars are mostly N/A.

The bit that worries me is that our cylinders have cast in sleeves of carbon and aluminium fibre which is only about 1mm thick. Surely boring out to 2.2L just leaves you with good old metal.

I'm pretty sure they got the additional displacement by boring and DE-stroking, which if I recall correctly is to modify the piston speed. And that silver Mugen S2200 is likely the ugliest car that I have seen in a long damn time.

Even uglier than the TT...(sorry, Juliann, I couldn't resist)

While the car is hideous, I still really like the silver lens covers they have for the head and taillights...it really gives a more sleek look to the silver cars. I'm sure they'd cost about $1000 a piece though, so oh well...

I think that they will atleast coat a thin of carbons/aluminium ect...With new pistons/rods, i think this car will have an amazing redline.

I doubt it.

The carbon and aluminium fibre liners are placed in the mold before casting and then the hot metal pored in around and through them. Pretty hard to do at a later date.
