Well as this Forum knows I am a Ecoboost Fan and you can get 800-1200 hp out of the Ecoboost if you wanted too so why not build it to resemble the real car. Let me know if there is and thoughts of doing more bodies

UnEcoBoost V8

As in twin turbo V8. Topic says gtr V8. So I am just curious about the engine choise.

Performance wise, the Ecoboost is a great engine with loads of potential. They are uge also as I concidered one for my 70s Ford Capri.
Only downside "Imo" they sound crap. Saw them at Spa WEC a few years ago and I didn't like the music at all.

I was just joking around with you, nothing 'Eco' about a forced induction V8. Sorry for the lame humor!

Carbon GT mono

Hello together. Last monday we were on the racetrack at anneau du rhin :) was very exciting . The material could surely drive faster ;) was also the first time on racetrack for me ... We also get a new set of wheels made by RCR thanks to Fran for the nice work. The front wheels are now 4kg...

My stock 3.5 Twin Turbo with just Raptor Turbo Upgrade produces 558 HP 528 torq at 6200 rpm 14 lbs boost not bad for a pretty much stock motor and the sound is healthy

Hello together.

Hi Urs, very nice work! I like a lot your choice for the suspension geometry. Are your uprights/axle custom made or sourced from other cars?

 

[Larry J Kishel]

Looking good I assume the main tub is carbon fiber correct.

 

[Urs]

Hello Together.
Yes the tub is carbonfiber. Te uprights are from a Lexus Racecar.

Thanks,
Bart

Its a scanned upscaled model. Then we machined the parts and put them together.
