The unique vehicle starts with an <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Austin_Allegro\">Austin Allegro<\/a> originally built by Austin (British Leyland) from 1973 until 1982. Retropower removed everything besides the body. Under that they are installing the chassis and powertrain from a Honda Integra Type R (DC2). This means the car will be powered by a 1.8 L B18C inline-four and manual transmission with a limited-slip differential. Retropower plans on having the B18 rebuilt with upgraded internals and individual throttle bodies.
