Popped over the the workshop next to us today at work, had a vauge? idea what went on in there but not completly
Turns out the guy is the founder of leading transmition company Xtrack, amoungst afew customer cars was his personal hillclimb / sprint car which was being worked on. I had to take some pics of the thing whilst it was apart as ive never seen such workmanship / skill in one car before !!!
Its basically a ford puma firbeglass shell, with a far from standard Ford RS200 Evolution engine, build around a completly bespoke chassis, with a one off four wheel drive system, gearbox...and loads of other bits that i had no idea what they were ! Everything was kevlar / carbon fibre and every bracket etc was build for the car, everything was rose jointed, attention to detail was unreal . It has a genuine 0 - 60 time of 1.7 seconds . It got afew class records at various hillclimb / sprint events
Heres a load of pics and afew vids if anyones interested....dread to think how much it cost to build
