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

[Fran Hall RCR]

Its cool, but not as cool as the GT-R or as proven on track...http://www.gt40s.com/forum/447606-post2119.html

I understand that. besides the Super GT car is a different beast, its probably not even A Ford GT underneath . I just wanted to know what kind of reaction others would have to it as it looks like a ford GT if it were a silhouette car. For all I know it probably is.

 

[Ron]

I love the Furai.....

I see it was in a fire and was destroyed

Mazda Furai - Nulon blog

If there is ever an SLC2 it will have some seriously sweepy lines like the Furai....

Did someone say sweeepy lines?

Bertone went bankrupt

Its the end of an era, Bertone has gone bankrupt!

Bertone has been around since 1912 (102 years) and designed many of the most iconic cars. For example, Lamborghini Miura, Lamborghini Countach, Lancia Stratos, many Alfa Romeos, many Fiats, etc.

The rights for the "Bertone" name is now owned by a newly formed entity called Bertone Design.

I wonder if this means that the rights for some of the legendary Bertone designs are now affordable?

Hmmm, Did I mention Lancia Stratos?!?

Absolutely love the Stratos. There is already a company making replicas but I'd love to see someone build the "New Stratos." I was pretty said when Ferrari squashed it.

 

[Jimmy P]

Lister Bell make a stunning Stratos. Would love to have one!

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Some of you older forum members may remember that I actually had one a few years ago...having been involved with Rallying as a young un, I love those cars, even built an 037 replica many years ago...I offered it for sale for sale and it took a good 18 months to sell....even at a giveaway price...

 

[Ron Scarboro]

I too love the Stratos. I've talked to the Lister Bell folks a coupe of times. The exchange rate, and scraping up an alfa motor here has kept me in the dugout though.

 

[Jack]

Ron, you could always stick an LS4 engine/gearbox in it though...

A rally car would make a good addition to the RCR stable.

Don't worry our new truck will scratch that itch....

I'm new here, doing some research on the SLC and ran across this.

Living in Atlanta, and having some friends working for Downing Atlanta, I had some really unique opportunities to check out rotary race cars.

Enjoy!

Best,

LOL....

me too on the Mazda...very very rare..and Dempsey still crashed it...hehe

I had a wind tunnel model of the DG3 and really liked the proportions of all the GTP light cars ...Spice etc .

They were always reputed to be more fun top drive than the GTP cars ....many were V6 powered with turbos...

Being a race car guy the Saubers , 962, GTP lights car all played a big part in influencing the design of the SLC...and then my main man Mike Moore and the RCR team ,we took the car to where it is now....sometimes I get too close to the cars and its not until I get a chance to standback and see them on the ground and from a distance that I really remember how damn pretty the thing is....:thumbsup:

John

welcome.

There are a few SLC's in your area..one with Hcraft the Robertson Ford GT prep shop...H would be happy to have you by,.

 

[Dave]

The 792b is one of the best looking race cars of all time. Seen it many times.

 

[Justin Hutson]

What about a 50s style truck?

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

er ...NO

 

[Luke S]

There was/is a 3 rotor SLC listed on Ebay. Kind of cool for ideas, John, if your kicking the idea around.

 

[Mark R]

Its cool, but not as cool as the GT-R or as proven on track...http://www.gt40s.com/forum/447606-post2119.html

Holy crap! I need to sell some toys! I have been dreaming of a 40, but at 6'2" / 270#, I don't think I would fit real well.

...I can't stop thinking about this car!! I would love to know more about the evolution of this project. Has Fran been working with Robertson Racing on this??

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

If you check out the rocker panels on EVERY picture of the Robertsons car from day one on the track you will see my RCR decals..
We have been involved from the very beginning...

The car is coming along really well and is really going to be very special...just as Dave and Andrea Robertsons cars are.

H craft..our rep/builder in Georgia is the main man behind the whole Robertson race programme.

I am honored to have him involved with our RC/Superlites.
He has the Superlite Le Mans at his shop for anyone to go check out.

 

[HCF - John]

Thanks Fran - and good speaking with you last week.

I wish I were still living in North Georgia. Few places in the world have I enjoyed more!

In the process of moving down to Austin, TX... if you have any owners or shops down here you could link me up with, I'd be much obliged!
Best,
John
