MC-2 let lloose.. (short, curious)

[Peter Berrevoets]

The point was only that the K24 Turbo was used in the UrS series and that it
was capable of producing the boost needed to attain that kind of horsepower.
Many think that the bigger K26 from the earlier cars is needed to produce
the power when in fact the K24 will do very nicely.
