The BTCC cars are not that far from stock under the hood.  The A4Q (like all 
BTCC cars) is a normally-aspirated 2 litre unit producing just a little over 
300bhp.  The whole front of the car is an air intake and foam filter - huge 
ducting takes the air to the left of the engine and into an oversize inlet 
manifold.  The head is cross-flow, with two injectors per cylinder controlled 
by separate pumps and separate circuits.  There's a lot of telemetry but very 
little electronic control.  I think the AWD is electronically controlled, 
though.

All of the normal lights, indicators, wipers, heater, etc., from a saloon 
car (sedan) have to be present and functional.  I stood guard over Biela's car 
for four days at Coy's - it wouldn't surprise me if the car was street legal.

What _is_ amazing is that the rear anti-roll bar is an aerofoil section.  Not 
just oval - which I half-expected - but a real miniature wing.
