T400r/etc Construction.

[Graham]

Is the T400r still a backbone/spaceframe type chassis likt the othere models, it seems to be from the pics. I thought it was somthing cleverer than that.

Does the floor / bodyshell add to the structure, rather than just being there to keep the ocupants dry(ish) as in chim./grif/tuscan ect...

There is a space frame chassis with a floorpan bolted and bonded to that consisting of a carbon fibre over honeycomb aluminium sandwich this adds to the regidity and is returned up the sides to provide extra side impact protection the body then has an inner passenger cell element bonded to these and the outer body work on top.

It is the same a the Le Man cars and is very very strong...
