RE: Tramontana R Edition
Discussion
Yet another one... though this one looks nice. As mentioned above though, it seems a bit heavy, and if those are 20 inch wheels I can believe the car is huge.
It says it's based on a standard open wheeler and then shortened... it also presumably seats its two people in tandem as there doesn't appear any space to get two people side by side. So what standard open wheeled car has a tandem two seat arrangement, or is big enough to accomodate that large engine and a second tandem seat but still have its wheelbase shortened? It's not the Xbow, Shirley?..

Is it just me or does the 0-125 time look a bit lame for having all those horses and all that torque AND weighing less than a dieting ballerina.
An ultima GTR would kill that to 125 IIRC that get's to 100 in around 5.5????
are you joking? 1259kgs for a car like that is ridiculously heavy! No wonder it's not actually that fast when compared to similar things.An ultima GTR would kill that to 125 IIRC that get's to 100 in around 5.5????
Carbon fibre bodywork is no good if you make the chassis out of depleted uranium.

It's poorly explained, but they are referring to the "standard" Tramontana (like there were loads of those produced It says it's based on a standard open wheeler and then shortened... it also presumably seats its two people in tandem as there doesn't appear any space to get two people side by side.

), hence this is the new "R Edition".Considering that it will be unusable on the road and too expensive/slow/breakable to dominate at a race track... what's the point? It's like a Pagani Zonda only less practical and with a badge that most people havn't heard of. And i agree with the above - it looks about the size of a aircraft carrier.
