The meaty arch extensions hint at a slightly wider track for the new model, while the rear wing is also a makeshift item. Rumours suggest that lightweight materials may be utilized.

“Think of it as a carbon fibre fishing rod. It will make you look serious and keen among your peers. But one day, you’re going to snag it on an overhead power line.
