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

[Fran Hall RCR]

Paul,
as I mentioned I have 2001 and 2002 bodies....I have checked with the powers that be and I am OK to do what I have planned.
I also have a little tweek that I can add as a seperate body piece that will completely transform the look into a very current style open cockpit LMP car....so essentially two for one.
We will not be making the body from CF though....unless someone really wants a $20,000 front splitter.....yikes

A little more info on the 2001 car

The RCR LMP will be just a little less expensive than the prices shown for 2000

FAAACCCKKK.
They just flew off the shelves at that price I bet.

I'm hoping for more than just a little bit less :thumbsup:

Will the new car be street legal?

 

[Greg]

Here's another vote for the Chevron B8. It could be a blast with a high output 4-cylinder or whatever else you can squeeze in there.

I also like the front lip on this GT40:

Could the lip ever become a possible option?

 

[Henry]

reminds me of the 2000 cobra R spliter. It looks good and I really like that color combo for some reason.

 

[Jack]

The B-8 would make a kick-ass little street car too!

 

[Mike Lambert]

another :thumbsup: thumbsup for that front splitter

 

[Richard]

That splitter looks like it would be a great aftermarket option for some kits... hint hint

 

[Richard]

How about the old Porsche type 64

 

[Mesa]

Kind of reminds me of the current Audi LeMans prototypes :-O

 

[Dave]

Talk about a polished turd....

 

[Jack]

Not too bad for 1938. It is really quite small too.

 

[Justin]

Looks like a skinny Caymen that's having an allergic reaction.

Hey Fran, I think a person beat you to the Cadillac LMP market

2001 Cadillac LMP Race Car Replica #2

Good idea about the separate body piece! Who woudn't love seeing one of these get the groceries? :thumbsup:

...on a related note, does RCR have any plans to build DSR or F1000 cars? I understand R&D (time and expenses) would be an obstacle but just curious:

Stohr WF1

Stohr F1000

The replica is the sytling buck/car that GM used to have in their Heritage center...was actually never a shape that was used as you will see its pretty similar to the early Riley based car but the cockpit is completely different as are the aero parts...its also missing a whole lot of parts.

No plans to do anything DSR related....I have two friends that already make them for a living and the market is miniscule to say the least ,and they are very expensive for new ones...$80-100k.... and as I already have a bike engined car that is sub $20k...where would be the business model.

 

[Justin]

How many SL Nemesis have you sold? (If you don't mind me asking...). Seems like there isn't that many of them out there. I love that car!

I wonder if Ford's new 1.0l ecoboost would fit in the Nemesis???

ya, that's what I figured.

I suppose a more pertinent inquiry would be...
are clever and comprehensive aero packages in the works for the SL-R & SL-N?

BTW, I found this cool [German] cat when trying to find the Cd of the DeTomaso Pantera... always wondered if it's as big of a brick as the similar Italian toys of the time:
