Bah, I was all excited til I read the specs and found out the only similarity to a road car is the body. These are V8 super taxi's in 4WD guise....

Quote:
FROM www.suvsuperseries.com

Designed from a clean sheet of paper these cars are state of the art and built to meet current FIA safety standards.

The design brief for the cars in the SUVSS was a proper, serious race car designed for the job that visually resembles very closely its road going cousin.

We wanted a powerful, light car that provides what racing and rally drivers call ‘the feeling’.

Most are surprised to learn that these SUV race cars, that weigh over two tonnes as road cars, weigh 1310kg and have over 400hp. And that ‘feeling’ comes from all independent suspension and perfect 50/50 weight balance.

Your safety was also our paramount concern. This is why the main space frame chassis is constructed of larger diameter thicker walled high tensile steel tube than practically any other race car you will find. Put simply, along with the design, it is more impact resistant. And around this space frame are front, rear and side detachable, deformable structures designed to absorb impacts before reaching the chassis. These structures also give the added benefit of restricting damage to the chassis in all but the biggest impacts reducing repair bills and speeding the repair process.

Specifications

Wheelbase:2840mm
Track:1650mm
Length:Varies (Approx 4800)
Tyre diameter:810mm maximum
Wheels:16 or 17 inch
Weight:1310kg

Engine:Aluminum V8 race engine
Capacity:5.7L
ECUelphi/Retrotune

Gearbox:6 speed sequential Hollinger
Diff:Aluminum full spool IRS


Steering:Quick ratio power rack and pinion


Brakes:Ventilated 325mm x 32mm f&r


Suspension
Front:Fully fabricated double wishbone.
Travel:330mm.
Rear:Fully fabricated trailing arms with lateral links.
Travel:300mm
Fully adjustable shocks, springs, sway bars and geometry.

I saw one of these being built on the gold coast awhile ago the shell is partly terri panels with some of them fibreglass so there is nothing terri in them at all.

Gen 3 motors.
