Nemesis 2 Tandem

[Matt K]

I just found out that the Nemesis 2 Tandem is now a factory offered car from Superlite. I know people have ordered custom 2-seaters in the past but didn't know it was going to go into production. I guess this will make it easier for me to forget about the Razor...

Pics and info please, Fran :thumbsup:

I'm curious to see the roll bar configuration. I also know that Fran was experimenting with the idea of making the Nemesis a monocoque chassis.

Ok...

Let's hear some details, Fran.

When you guys say "tandem", you're making me think of one seat in front of the other....?


Jeff-

Jeff-

That is correct.

 

[Brad R.]

This should be quite exciting... will certainly provide a racier feel over the Razor.

 

[Luke Lonberger]

We have one on the way!

 

[Matt K]

Looks good! Is the roll bar such that a driver of average height won't get decapiated in the event of a rollover?

And how tight a squeeze is the rear seat? It looks a bit cramped haha

Hi Matt,
Good Point. I assume the roll bar configuration hasn't been completed yet, as the rear one is currently missing the rear support and is relatively worthless in that configuration. They may be considering forward-facing supports on it as well.
The driver will probably have their own hoop, similarly well-braced. Connecting the two would perhaps look less than ideal, but would be a big plus for strength and stability. I'm sure they have this in in the works.

You just can't over-engineer safety!

I dig it

Yup. Thankfully, safety concerns and poorly engineered setups are not things that we have to worry about with Fran. I'm more curious than anything as to how the finished setup will look

Let's hope for a narrower version of this Ariel Atom re-body (Rezvani BEAST):

 

[Kyle]

I wonder how much heavier it is. I also would like to see it with body panels

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Its a little over 100lbs heavier and you will be able to see the Tandem on the website in a few weeks time....
We have already had a great response from the customers that have been to the shop and sat in the chassis...
There are already some units presold....

I am also working with APR to have a specific performance package for the Nemesis family of cars

 

[David]

APR as in goapr.com? Oh please tell me this will be VAG powered!

 

[Tyson Silva]

This is what I want. .....looking forward to more details

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Yes Goapr.com I was talking to the owner Stephen Hooks yesterday prior to him leaving to attend Le Mans this weekend.

All of the Nemesis family of cars are now solely VAG powered..VW engine with Audi longitudinal transaxle
..
Nemesis, LMP2 and the Nemesis T...

Another really cool thing we have done is to include mounting lugs on the Nemesis chassis to allow it to become the LMP2 as a bolt on chassis application. The pontoons will then also be able to be replaced should some one have a "whoops" on track in their LMP2.

New uprights and also full billet aero suspension will now be standard on this range of cars...bringing them in line with our other cars....

The Nemesis body panels have also been reworked to make the whole top cowling one piece making the already good body fit now superb and also much easier to remove for maintainance.

 

[Justin]

Very cool! I'm glad to see the Nemesis evolve to the next level.

 

[Fred Fields]

Will the suspension only be offered in the raw aluminum look or at there powder coating or anodizing options the match the frame?

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Only in as machined finish form the factory.. arms will not fit the earlier bike engine cars as the engine bay area for the automotive drivetrain is slightly different.

 

[Fred Fields]

Makes sense. What is the estimated weight difference for all 4 corners going from steel to aluminum?

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Each arm is 25% lighter than the steel one it replaces
