	The '''Westfield XTR2''' was a bespoke track car produced by [[Westfield]] from [[2001]] until [[2010]]. Powered by an Inline-4 from a [[Suzuki Hayabusa]] motorcycle, the XTR2 was surprisingly quick for its comparatively-low price tag, even against similarly-designed rivals such as the [[AS One]].

			Due to being a relatively obscure car known only to British kit car enthusiasts, the XTR2 has only made 4 appearances in automotive journalism programmes. Three of these were made between 2002 and 2003, whereas the fourth was made in 2009. This latter appearance marks the XTR2's most-recent TV appearance as of {{Currentyear}}.

			===Top Gear===
			The XTR2 made its inaugural media appearance for [[Top Gear (2002 TV series)/Series 1/Episode 3\|Series 1, Episode 3]] of ''[[Top Gear (2002 TV series)\|Top Gear]]''. Host [[Richard Hammond]] wanted to prove that it was possible to daily-drive a track-oriented car, and briefly drives it down some country roads before taking it around the [[Top Gear Test Track]]. After this latter drive, the XTR2 is given to [[The Stig]] in order to set a lap time.

Royle gives a basic overview of the car before continuing to review similar track day cars for Hoskin to choose from. In the end, he didn't rate the XTR2 very highly, and eventually settled on one of the car's rivals, the [[MK (automotive manufacturer)\|MK GT]].
