I had a good look at it a couple of weeks ago in London at the hospital 
parking lot. Its a dark blue '85 that sits on a tube frame chassis. Has 17" 
rims, large displacement race prepared 20v, big KKK turbo custom manifold 
with a short inverted Y downpipe and dual 4" SS exhaust system with the 
pipes coming out on each side just in front of the rear wheels. Has a 6 
speed gear box, RS2 suspension, hubs, brakes, competition ignition system 
and coil packs and electronic boost control. Only 2 front seats and the 
passenger legroom has been slightly sacrificed to make everything fit. All 
electronics are in a compartment where the back seat was and the fuel tank 
has been removed and a smaller one sits further back in the trunk so the 
whole rear area is open. The engine compartment was enlarged so the 1/4 
panels were extended, flared and feathered to the side panels. Much more 
exaggerated than in the picture Phil submitted. With the width of rear being 
about 6" wider than the front it reminds me more of a Porsche than a Ur-q. 
He told me he got the weight down just under 2,500 pounds so I know why I 
couldn't catch him either but he probably has twice the hp of my S4.
