True. However... I am most interested in the potential within your manufacturing endeavors to project said relevance above and beyond the relevance of ever-increasing performance. I love EVO, but they are all chomping at the bit to sing the praises of the LaF, the P1, and the 918 as soon as they get their hands on them. Do you think 003 will be so great in its simplicity, style, and dynamic that its relevance will outpace that of the current hype? I am hoping so. What EVO said in that video is tue: Experience by simplicity and emotion are what matter. But changing the status quo of supercar manufacturing to reflect that ethos will be difficult, if not impossible.
Just an crazy idea Alfa 4C tub + this The 3.2 has 500 hp, only 88 kg dry weight and revs to 10500 rpm... If anything, it would be a fun little car.
Our two motors will arrive next week and development will begin. Engineering and aero continuing along well. Early October I'll head over to check out styling and other activities. It looks like Road and Track will be embedding a reporter and will follow our Journey to the Ring and the Road in 2015.
So glad you're sharing these vignettes of what is and will be Art and Commerce and The Road Ahead, as not just the potential, but The Vision is fully realized.
We've begun engine development. Our goal is 600HP a lot of low end Torque and minimal turbo lag from our TT V6
Cool. I'm excited to see this develop after the sneak peek I got back in August. Is the reporter from R&T Sam's son?
Makes sense. Exciting news, either way, and great to know they will be keeping a "diary" of sorts. Will you be developing the engines in the US?
How many engines would an engine engineer engineer if an engine engineer could engineer engines? Sorry, I couldn't resist. All the best, Andrew.
Please do let me know if you will be looking for sponsorship for 003C. Well have a few different Vodka brands by 2015 that I would love to get on the car if possible. Very exciting project!
Things are moving along with our new Road (SCG 003) and Race Project (SCG 003C). We've begun engine development, styling and engineering. Next week Paolo will come to NY and we'll go over styling and aerodynamics. Road and Track will be embedding a reporter and issuing updates as we move along.
