Torsional frame stiffness is an essential feature as it not only improves handling, but also road manners and makes for a more solid feeling car. To solve the problem of triangulating the frame top bays, this design uses a wide top triangle covering both the cockpit and engine bay. A torsion test proved it to be a substantially stiff frame design. The shape of the frame with the wide centre section defines the body shape. ![]() The suspension
design uses tubular
wishbones which are light and easy to
make. The look is a
mechanical fantasy that reflects a love
