Going together....

We can fit our KERS system to our cars should a customer want to. TERS is another matter. The electric ceramic motor system, TERS, you reference that is used in F1 cars starts at 1MM and goes up from there.
Ah no.
Having engineered complete suspension systems that have survived tow 24's and thousands of road miles without issue I think our latest design will do fine.
Basically a real race engine needs to be efficient under racing regulation air restriction, fuel economy for longer stints and fewer pit stops, and run flat out for 24 hours something a street engine can't do. Race engines last about 8K miles before they need a total rebuild so a street/race engine swap makes sense. …
The emperor has no clothes. 2.5MM for a body kit and a mediocre one at that. Brand killing lunacy.
We're going for 1 OA at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring. If we get accepted at Le Mans and other places as Garage 56 we thing we'd run just under P2.
Interior of road version can be as luxurious as customer wants.
A few bits and bobs. Look at the rear CF subframe. Think of the road version with a Road Legal TT12, road gearbox and fully mounted rear suspension that is plug and play interchangeable, same wheelbase with a CF subframe filled with a TTV6 race motor, gearbox and fully mounted rear suspension all of which unbolts by…
IMHO SCG 003 will definitely brake some ground for GT cars. Don't think I've ever seen a GT car that can plug and play from a road legal TT12 to a race legal TTV6. One that's totally modular and can be dissembled and reassembled quickly at the track, using by an average person using hand tools...
I'd be impressed if there was demand for 2000 La's but if there was I'd build them.
Sad for flippers.
I think this is a very good thing.
This is exactly what we hope to do with our new Road and Race car SCG 003.
Another thing we're offering our customers is a total behind the scenes involvement in engineering sessions, testing and racing with us access way beyond a "factory visit".
This will give you more of an idea about what we're building.
At The Ring Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche generally rule but there are a LOT of great Teams and there is a lot of serious competition for us. In 2015 there will be several new factory efforts including Bentley and it should be a great race. In terms of engines there's a Huge difference between a "Hypercar" Engine…
