All-new 2018

  • All-new chassis with unique and innovative front Flex adjustment using an aluminum insertable brace. Using the aluminum brace the steering response and corner speed increase, without the aluminum brace the car is easier to drive
  • All-new rear layshaft bulkheads allow to use a bracket bushing that connects the layshaft bulkheads with rear bulkheads that reinforces the entire rear suspension which makes the car more free especially in high traction conditions.  Without the bracket bushing the car has more traction and is suggested to use for low traction conditions
  • All-new graphite brace of the rear bulkheads with new design for more comfortable access to the engine screws
  • All-new graphite brace connecting the rear layshaft bulkheads and radio plate stand with new design for more comfortable engine removal
