CRed05 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yeah, interesting. I have a feeling it will have a similiar fate as the 6 wheeled F1 cars though. From what I was reading, it sounds like it over-steers a lot, which is the opposite of what I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yeah, interesting. I have a feeling it will have a similiar fate as the 6 wheeled F1 cars though. From what I was reading, it sounds like it over-steers a lot, which is the opposite of what I would think. That is really surprising if that's the case, given the skinny front wheels. Deltawing chassis aside, I definitely think that 4-cyl turbo is whats going to keep good racing going and keep the tree huggers happy while were at it.

Draco-REX Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I respect it for its out-of-the-box thinking. But I don't have high hopes and even suspect it might have some aero issues to work out. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GMoney Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Totally stupid idea, it still has the same frontal area as a standard race car with same handling prosesses as a 1970s 3-wheeler. I do like the 1.6 turbo and the half weight ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I hope it flips over and explodes in the first turn of a real race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I hope it flips over and explodes in the first turn of a real race I don't see it flipping over sideways.. However, I do see a potential for it to flip over backwards on the Mulsanne straight if it sticks too close behind another car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPS Mike Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I Believe they used the engine from the juke. I would be interested in what modifications were made to the engine and what power output they are at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things they're trying to accomplish is racecar performance with relatively very little power, so the car is more efficient.
