Here is the new engine for the 924. It'll be a tight fit.

It's a Merlin, 12 cyl. about 1100 BHP. I might need to stiffen the front suspension.

That's from a Supermarine Spitfire, isn't it? That would make your '924 fly...

The engines in the Airbus 380 are also RR-engines.I think they have a little problem

right now.....Dripping oil and so ...beside that,a little bit of extra power in our cars will help.
