Is that BRCA EB homologated

I'm sorry, Rich, there was a bit of misspelling there. It should have been, "pRoton" drive. Or was it "neutron?"

Much too complicated for me.

I'd really love to see pictures of the new prototypes (or what you prefer to call them) - is that possible?

Just very interesting to see stuff like that!

Now thats what I call engineering without fear lol!!!

i think there are some pics on the ME-OR thread

Guys, could we have an update on the new 4WD progress?

I'm kinda surprised Ellis is driving the X11 in stead of working on a new X-Factory prototype also. Does this mean any elements from the Pred are considered taking into the new 4WD?

Have you narrowed it down more now? Will the new car be ready for 2011?

More proto pics?

Spill the beans!

Working hard, evolving from a radical design into a VERY radical one, not spilling any beans :-P

Please, Shy, Please. No manufacturer is going to tell you all about the prototype work. We release far more info than most.

We ran the test bed cars in the spring, and Ellis was an huge part of that. The test beds proved a number of principles to be quite good indeed, but several issues were holding those cars back. Ellis, who always wants to be competitive, knew it would be a few months before we have the parts in hand to improve the test beds, and asked if he could run another car. Having learnt everything we could learn from the test beds as they currently exist, we said, "yes."

We expect the new parts to arrive right after the Euros, we have a number of new ideas to try out on the test beds, and expect to get going, with Ellis' help, in September.

Thx for the info! Just very curious that's all!

if you have ever driven an x11-08, you would then see why Ellis is driving one!!!

[SHY]

Any news guys!

Don't need a new lecture, just curious!

Any ETA on the new car? Or will also 2011 be a year of testing?

I think an other line of option/tuning parts, probably red.
