@Sillyworld @Mr.Computah Well, this is what I’d put with it, especially the bit that comes after 1:00:
Though Silly, Depeche Mode would be an excellent choice (since when did Linkin Park ever decide to cover them? Mind blown)

Tuning company and motorsport team Maula announced the car they would be competing with in the 2019 European Hillclimb Championship a joint press release with Erin today. The company, based in Exhall, Coventry, will be running in the Category I class with a heavily modified version of the current gen Merna compact, developed in partnership with Erin’s in-house tuning company/R&D organisation, the X Department.
The Maula Merna HC19 (pictured) is based on the 200X-AllDrive model, the top of the line hot hatch variant of the car. It uses the same Pureon Large i4 block as the road-going model, enlarged to 2.22l in a perfectly square design, with an NHI Turbocharging kit and custom straight pipe exhaust. Currently, the engine pushes 700 hp, though it’s believed there is further room for improvement. A complete overhaul of the cars aero and a lot of bodywork has also been done, as well as considerable weight loss too.
As of present, only preliminary testing and tuning has begun, with “more work to be done” over the coming autumn and winter in preparation for the start of the season. ErinSport have also noted that they are keen to see the car compete in the 2019 Pikes Peak Hill Climb as well.
Maula have a considerable history of working with Erin cars. Whilst more famous for their open wheel racers and motorsport supplies, the team came to fame in the mid 1990s with the special edition Maula Merna and more recently a Touge-prepped Mk 1 Berlose affectionatley known as ‘Big Mumma’.
More on the partnership is expected later this year when drivers are announced, though a date has yet to be confirmed.

As hype builds around the successor to the current LMP1 regulations in the World Endurance Championship, the Erin Motor Company and ErinSport are pleased to announce that a project to develop a car to compete in the new Hypercar category is currently underway. A number of rumours surrounding the future of ErinSport’s current prototype racer - the GT18 - after the end of the current WEC Superseason preceded this announcement.
In keeping with the now approved regulations for the series, the project will lead to the creation of a hybrid-powered race car, including the mandated road-going production variants which will likely be built at Erin’s X Department Specialist Production Line in Nottingham, UK. As of current, the project is experimenting with basing the car on the current GT18 chassis and powertrain in order to speed up the development process.
As this is Erin’s first ever hypercar, it has been suggested that the company may seek out external help from more experienced manufacturers in this field. ErinSport aims to have the car on the startline at the first race of the 2020 season, and looks forward to meeting other manufacturers there very soon.

Does that PureonPOWER V8 have any further expansion potential?

Good question. The Erin V8 has been a part of its brand for a long time and will remain so, but the power outputs required and regulations on material costs mean that Erin will most likely use a different engine for the car. The PureonPOWER V8 will continue to be used in the Scarlet GTE of course

Erin have unveiled the first renderings of the design for their upcoming hypercar, which is set to release next year. Although no final name has been decided, the car is currently being developed under the title of Project 102. The body has been made far more ‘roadworthy’ compared to the race car it is based off of, the ErinSport GT18, but the company stated that underneath it is almost entirely the same, save for some minor structural changes.
The biggest change made underneath is to the engine, where a brand new twin-turbo 4.4l V10 will be used. The V10 was in development prior to Project 102’s starting, set to be used in models from 2021 onwards, but it has been brough forward for the new hypercar. It harks back to the 6.0l V10 used on the Le Mans-winning ErinSport CPR-4 from the late 1980s.
The rest of Project 102’s powertrain will remain the same as that on the GT18. The combustion engine will drive the rear wheels directly whilst the front wheels will be powered by an electric motor used during acceleration and for energy recovery. Whilst racing versions of the car will comply with regulations and only use Energy Recovery to charge the batteries, road-going versions will be able to drive the motor directly to allow for ultra-efficient driving at lower speeds.
No performance data has yet been released, however the car will begin full testing very soon.

A new decade means a new direction for one of Britain’s most iconic car makers. Following years of research, our Electrogen hybrid system and EV drivetrain development are now ready for use.
As we update our range over the next few years, sustainable powertrains will lead the way, meaning that all new Erin’s sold from 2025 onwards will be hybrids or EVs.
That starts with Electrogen. Electrogen is a powertrain capable of full hybrid drive, allowing cars to drive entirely through electric motor power alone, with self-charging capability from the engine and plug-in recharge available too. It allows for incredible performance in tandem with our sports engines, as well as the promise of unbelievable efficiency for everyday cars.
Erin’s history is cemented in motorsport and performance vehicles. It wouldn’t be right to spearhead this next step in our company’s story without our sports models leading the way. That’s why we’re proud to introduce two new cars to our range.
The first, the Mark V Erin Scarlet. Our most famous sports car marque returns in hybrid form, and is more powerful than ever before.
The second, our first ever hypercar, the Erin Supremacy, developed from our Le Mans-winning GT18 endurance racer; it’s the fastest car we have ever made.
Stay tuned as more details will be revealed soon.
