1. Remi Callens - XRAY T3'12
2. Joan Urbain
3. Jan Asmer
4. Daniel Wohlgemuth
5. Joe Streff - XRAY T3'12
6. Francesco Martini - XRAY
7. Gonzalo Garcia
8. Javier Hidalgo Bonet
9. Gilles Choque - XRAY T3'12
10. Thorsten Zorn

The only one without a reference to the car is Francesco.

And just some more "teasing" from Xray: http://www.teamxray.com/teamxray/new...d58323a5f41e86


Martin Hudy looks like Gollum in that photo! not the best picture of him... Either way i'm sure it's going to be a great car.

Just bringing concerns as I see/don't see them.
I think it's because the bulkheads are identical front and rear, they're different at each end on the T3'12.

At the moment the front roll bar mounts are horizontal and bit that sticks forward acts like a backstop for the front bumper upper mount.

When the same bulkhead is placed at the rear facing the exact opposite direction, the 'backstop' simply sticks out.

Although it would take an impact from the rear, the bits that stick out will be close together and low to the chassis (though still above the other cars bumper line)

I should think it's still better than those metal parts that get stuck onto the body posts to support the rear deck.

That was the worlds Prototype chassis and is in fact an Early T4. The other pic from Francisco is a preproduction T4 and is more in line with what the finished product is going to look like. While the chassis looks wide in that photo it is no wider than my T3'12 when I compared them last night.

If you dont like it, go somewhere els.
BD7 is a nice car and you are free to have your own choice.
Or have the BD7 trown you out the forum.
And if you are a topdriver you behave different, so I assume you
are not that what you think you are but you are what whe think you are,guess?

This sounds like somebody interviewed Martin Hudy. The anticipation is almost too much to handle.

Waiting For The New XRAY T4
Sep. 26, 2012
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Martin Hudy, XRAY T4 designer: To design the new T4 we have started with a clear mind and a very clear idea what we wanted to achieve – the most sophisticated and advanced electric touring car suitable for all racing conditions, fitting the needs and requirements of every level of driver and featuring all the technical details and set-up options required to make the car outstanding. We would, of course, achieve this using the artistic craftsmanship, perfectionism and attention to every technical and manufacturing detail. We wouldn’t rest until we achieved the result that the racers have grown to expect from XRAY – a masterpiece.

After the outstanding success of all our previous models and platforms and our clear desire to raise the bar, this time by a significant leap, it was the time for something different, time for an all-new platform, the new T4.


For almost a full year, the XRAY R&D team have been refining and developing the new T4 platform. Working from the ground up to create this new platform, thousands of hours were spent on tracks around the world, at our own test facilities, as well as in production design and prototyping. The design team did not want to leave any stone unturned, any application untested.

During the year 5 completely different prototypes were tested by the XRAY factory team around the world in all the different track conditions. Whether it was carpet or asphalt, indoor or outdoor, hot or cold conditions, thousands and thousands of laps were run and countless amounts of data was recorded to be evaluated and compared. Out of all the prototypes, only the best ideas and parts proven on the track were chosen and incorporated into the final prototype which was for several months hard-core tested by 12 different team drivers in 12 different countries around the world in varied racing conditions – all with the same result, feedback and conclusion by all the drivers: “This is the best performing, most innovative Xray touring car that I have ever tested or driven.”

The waiting will be over soon, complete presentation of the T4 will be released in a short time.

What happened to the thread with the T4 picture with the servo mounted inboard with the saver coming up through the top deck with the saver and the link centered?

I believe that thread was deleted by request. Too many T4 secrets given out too soon, probably...
