Do you have an estimated time that the conversion over to race ready could be done for someone who has driven a 003 to the track in road setup?
Can't remember exactly, but I think he said a matter of mere hours. Drive to the track in W12 road setup, convert to race setup with your TT V6, then convert back to your road W12 setup, and drive home... all in the same day - providing it isn't a 24-hour race. All the best, Andrew.
Does the engine swap involve swapping the cockpit displays/computers as well? I can't imagine getting one ECU that talks to both engines and runs all the displays/gauges to be simple. I've seen engine swaps in cars of the same make/model go awry at the dash integration/wiring stage because the engine/trans was a year older or newer than the car it was being swapped into.
no offense to a what is obviously a super cool project, but what is the market for a race car that can be driven to the track? i understand that was possible 60 yrs ago because race tech was same as street car tech but why now? isnt it better to have a dedicated race car and a street car.
From what I can make out from teasers I seriously hope a customer orders their 003 in that beautiful blue tinted carbon fibre Pagani used on the Zonda Revolucion that seems to highlight form so well. I'm incredibly excited about seeing this car when its unveiled and I hope each and every one is driven hard over many 1000's of miles.
Nope. Plug and play. Our computers can EASILY service two engines. Dash and controls remain the same. Race seats/roll bar/wing/splitter/diffuser/wheels and tires all plug and play with road versions.
So far there seems to be a nice market for conversions. We're selling race cars, road cars, race to road conversions and road to race conversions. Not all customers will want conversions but many seem to.
We're building two cars for The Ring and have a good number of orders brewing. It's not impossible that we'll sell enough to keep racing and developing for a while. You never know...

My long-term keeper cars have been street-legal race cars. If I had the budget, I would buy such a car over any supercar/hypercar. Race it, build my own in-period race provenance and later enjoy it in the streets as a retired race car or occasional vintage track car. Another market indicator is that in the Challenge car forum, posters periodically ask about street-registering Challenge cars, etc. Also, there's a reason why dual use street/race cars of the 50s/60s command such high values. I'd consider, of course, how competitive such a car would be, since a street/race car often is an exercise in compromise.
