Weren't the Austrian Euros a few months ago?
(Durango left a report in their news section about it on the 15th of September).
Anyway, a few months back I already contacted Durango about the developments on the DEX210. They said that their focus would be pointed to the release of the DNX408, which is understandeable I guess: It's their second car essentially (as the DEX410, 410R and DESC10R are made on the same basic chassis structure), and having two cars in developments only costs huge amounts of money, whereas having one in an earlier stage of development and the other one in production means there is a bigger cashflow to fund developments
@Till: As for the sort of lack of inventive features you mentioned - I think it's important to realise that the DEX410 was in development since 1999 - I doubt the DEX210 is. And there are actually (albeit earlier) pictures of the mid-motor setup (
Link).
I am just very curious to see if they will keep the carbon chassis plate, and whether the gearbox and sidepods will stay in aluminum or will be made of reinforced plastic (aka how many changes in material they will make). I am sure it will catch the Team Durango spirit when it comes to engineering quality and tolerances - but I hope they again don't save costs on materials or production methods like they seem to have done on the DEX410
