Prodrive is a British motorsport and automotive engineering group based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. It designs, constructs and races cars for companies and teams such as Subaru, Aston Martin and Ford. Its automotive technology division provides road car design and engineering consultation for various car manufacturers as well as businesses in the defence, aerospace and marine industries.

Prodrive is perhaps best known for its involvement in the World Rally Championship with the Subaru World Rally Team. While the Subaru World Rally programme ended in 2008, today its motorsport manufacturer programmes include Aston Martin Racing in world sportscar racing, Ford Performance Racing in the Australian V8 Supercar Series and the new Mini WRC Team.

In Australia the company has an interest in Ford Performance Vehicles, a joint venture with Ford Australia which produces automobiles under the FPV brand.

The group is also involved in activities in China.

Globally, the company employs around 600 people and has a turnover of around £100 million.

0.30 min. | 4.39 user rating		 It was early... the tarmac was damp / green... the traction control was off... all these and more were the excuese provided for this little bit of over driving... just goes to prove even the professionals make mistakes!!! Mind you, they do say that if it doesn't go wrong occasionally... you're not trying hard enough! This was one of a series of events arranged by Mazda UK for potential Mazda buyers....General public applied through dealers and were selected to attend... The event was staged to be an advanced driving school for aspiring secret agents.... hence the theatrical piles of ammo cases, camoflage netting, and fireballs! Lucky people got to be scared in a selection of different vehicles... These are RX-8s are Mazda Prodrive PZ8... a version available in the UK
