We Took the Frog to the Mapping Gods

The first rollout went well, so we took the frog straight to the mapping gods at Dynotech for a proper tune. They've got the dyno, the data, and the dashboards, and they're backing us on all of it. And we're not stopping at a tune. A little glimpse of what's coming soon.

DNS on Paper. Nürburgring Boulevard Takeover in Real Life.

Official result at the 24h Nürburgring: DNS. Unofficial result: a full Boulevard takeover. We didn't make the grid, so we brought the Twingo anyway and let it do what it does best, pull a crowd. Sat next to GT3 machinery, the frog held its own. Same attention. Arguably more.

Rebuilding the Frog's Engine for 2026

We're fully rebuilding the frog's engine for 2026. 25 years old, 140,000 km, the perfect moment for a proper freshen-up to OEM+ spec. No balls-to-the-wall forged internals, we'd rather spend where the stopwatch actually rewards it. Here's the plan, and why this project is only getting started.
