The Car

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Built to a single specification. The Beetle-Style bodies sit on a tubular steel chassis powered by an 1800cc, 130BHP VW/AUDI engine - mid mounted for optimum balance. They are quick too - since weighing only 760Kg, they have superb power to weight ratio. Above all, safety is vitally important. That is why each car comes with an oversized roll cage, a five point drivers harness, a petrol tank that complies with standards set by the FIA and Uniroyal Rain Sport tyres that give excellent handling, especially in the wet

HANDLING

Suspension can be adjusted for camber, toe-in (or toe-out). Many of the suspension parts are from production cars to keep down costs.

Brakes are race derived for great efficiency and a long life (Handy for stopping as well). The whole rear section of the car from B-Pillar backwards hinges to allow fast access to the engine compartment. The remaining panels are mounted to the chassis with snap-lock fasteners, with the exception of the front spoiler which is held in place with several screw fasteners.
