Very pretty. MUCH lighter than the steel chassis I have, no question about that. How much will a finished car weigh, with, for example, a 302 with aluminum heads, and a ZF 5DS transaxle?
 
Jim,

Further weight will can be removed from our cars by installing several new options like;

Magnesium bellhousing for the UN1

Carbon gear linkage

Ti driveshafts

Cheers,
S

You forgot the Mag uprights, full alloy shocks and light weight steering column options.

If you mean with our standard spaceframe its 1000 kgs or 2200 lbs.

Introductory prices are £10,950 for the Aluminium version and £17,950 for the Carbon version.

At todays dollar/pound conversion rate thats $15,987 and $26,207.

Prices include Chassis, body and all wishbone and suspension links.

If there is enough interest we may look at a Stainless Steel version.

Thanks

Andy

We are now introducing an improved light weight body shell which will be supplied as standard with our Monocoque chassis.

Total weight of the complete bodyshell is just 150 lbs or 69 Kgs.

Thanks

Andy
 
that sounds very good, so a lightweight body-shell and a carbon mono...
what do you think a complete car will weight incl fluids and say 30Liters fuel in kg...I guess in such car also a lightweight alu engine comes in?

thx,
René
