Just witness the company demonstrators; most have 300bhp plus under the bonnet! You can build a Rush with a 1600cc Pinto, but not many builders take this route. Engine capacities and power levels commonly start where the likes of Caterham stop. Each Dax Rush is different. Unlike many recent Caterhams and Westfields, which are almost indisting
