RCR's Next car should be.....

[Dave P]

Fran :

What is this little red thing above?

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

I have had the moulds for it for a long time....just waiting for the right time to make them ,Its a 1958 F1 246 Dino, they were developed and used in a movie about Mike Hawthorn

 

[Dave P]

It kind of looks like this car in the back ground that showed up at my buddies cruise in.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Looks cool and similar but as I decided not to sell any yet and there are no truly real ones left.
The only ones are recreations using some original parts its unlikely to be the same car

 

[TSR]

Knowing you Fran you will make it lighter faster and better than the original.
And a hole lot cheaper

than anything with an original part.

 

[marc]

You mean one of these....??

yes sir

 

[Randy V]

Wow....

100 pages - closing in on 2,000 posts with almost 250,000 reads :thumbsup:

Keep it up guys!

 

[Troy]

With the weather that we have been having lately, how about a real "track'd" car. :laugh:

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

You are not kidding.....

 

[Justin]

I'll say...... It dropped down to 55 today.




Any updates on the truck?

 

[Sean]

What about a countach with a proper V12.

 

[Ron]

How about a Nissan NPT90, it looks like it can make enough downforce to survive a tornado

Wow, 100 pages to this thread and counting!

Hmmm, maybe a Robertson GT-R with a Coyote engine gutted with Pankl bottom end with Del West top end. 550hp on pump gas should be legit using high rpm.

I would kick out the kids, get rid of the dogs and live in a trailer for this ^^^.

I should be taking delivery of one very similar very soon!:thumbsup:

Dean, is your project a one-off custom build from RCR? Or is this a new product that will be available at some point? I know there were a few posts on this earlier, but don't think that was made clear.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Its a new production product ...

it is the very same race widebody shape, as run in the ALMS series in 2009-2011 and finished 3rd in class at Le Mans in 2011

Dean wanted to be the first victim...sorry customer to have one.
Its currently a track package ...and is has little to no options other than shocks and brakes upgrades and will retail around the same price as the SLC and LMP1

Exciting stuff. I can't wait to see Dean's build!!

Does this mean a street/track project would be impossible? ...Or just more difficult than an SLC?

 

[Dean Lampe]

It will be like a lot of my previous builds, track car in spirit but street legal (at least in Illinois). It is a new production so it will probably take a little longer than my last builds just because it hasn't been done before.

I fell in love with this car after the movie. So sad it was never made, maybe it can be.
