[GTRCLIVE]

Thanks but I'm also looking forward to see what Jon here is going to create, loved the last body mods he did.
Come on Jon any new shapes in mind ?

Thought I would hold off until we where done with design but I played around a little this afternoon and I guess I can give a hint of what it will look like, not even close do done with design but you get the idea... Have a guy doing a 3D drawing of the car now so I should have the final design in a coupe weeks, will be a hectic winter... Car is scheduled to be at an event at the end of march...;-)


Hope you guys like it!

Hi Jon,
we met in Poznan (was driving the orange luxemburgish car) and perhaps, when everything will work as previewed we will met also in march.
Very nice design!!
Do you think with this design you will get registration?
In which country you try to make registration?
greetings

Stunning! dont take this the worng ways but it looks more 'together' than the current setup (and that looks bloody good!!!!).

Any plans on offering the body work to anyone else?.....

Chris.

looks great, i really like it

The V12 would be a squeeze I would imagine though the BMW V12 unit 'fits'

I'm surprised no one has started trying to use the VAG W12 unit.... I bet they can be found cheap and we know they make power! Not sure how heavy they are though...

[V8Dom]

If you are going the diesel route the problem you will have is excess torque.

There arent any gearboxes that will take it unless you are Audi or Peugeot which is why no one else has passed the design stage for a LeMans car...Lola , Courage etc etc have tried but failed due to the box. Shelved the projects and stayed Petrol..

And we are finally off the wonderful "widebody land"

These pics are a few days old so by now the whole rear section should be pretty much done... Its going to be a wide wild one!

You`re right, but the Gallardo these came from must have burned down...

the w12 are know to be very thristy and without charger or turbo less powerful than a LS engine, so do not see any benefit but a more expensive ECU and header because of the 12 cylinders.....

And a little sneak peak of the finished design... ;-)
