Hmm the info says a price of USD $100-$200 not yet confirmed. Seems inexpensive for a top level toruing car:cool:

read again, it says 100 - 200 MORE than the current class of TC.

I thought about doing the drive train this way a long time ago on my TC3. I could never find off the shelf bevel gears that would make it work correctly. :cry:

Opps you are correct. $600 for a TC, that'll make xray look cheap:lol:

All the magic

Still don`t got how the suspension works and on what it is based, but i dont care as long as it`s good.

It wonder,... looking at the front suspention drawings it may be a rebound type suspension that is used in pan cars???:confused:
I do not know about the carbon fiber lower control arms either, snap snap.
Steering looks like the TC3 system

This car is definitely looking pretty interesting. As far as the shaft drive solution, I was thinking more on the lines of some sort of slipper effect. But this is really damn interesting. Now I can't wait to see this car in action.

I would say the big yellow round thing is what they call a rotary dash pot, it will be doing the damping and the what looks like a coiled leaf spring will do the springing.

HarryN 01-22-2009 03:13 PM

I dunno, this thing reminds me too much of how a leaf-spring type suspension would work. One thing I am not too crazy about these types of setup is how fast the dampening effect wears out. Furthermore, what if you get that one hard hit against a wall while racing.

I'm almost tempted to ask for a crash-test video. :lol:
