Other Motors

Hi Simon,

My favorite thing about your car is the option to have 2 passengers behind the driver. That would allow me to carry my wife and one small son with me. =)

Will the Vstorm be able to use any other engines like a Honda Civic Type R drive line for example?

I want to offer constructive criticism in saying that one of the Vstorm's only weaknesses is the option of only one engine. How do we get the zero to 60mph below 3 seconds? :D

I think the USA version might have a Hayabusa engine 175hp+ at 1100lbs . At those numbers i think you might get to 3.5 secs.

We should manage 0-60 in around 3 seconds,anything less than that is difficult even with huge horsepower and massiv:thumb2:e tyres to give you more road contact area,as when you start getting down in that region traction is always going to be the limiting factor.
I do have a car variant in the pipeline for release Summer Autumn this year,
lets just say it isnt a honda type r engine, but the unit we are using is 280bhp standar trim and tuneable reliably for 500hp,weight of our car should only go up to around 650kg So I thinkk it should do the trick !

Cheers

Simon

Any hints? Like is it a "USA" Engine or UK? 4 cyl or 6?

[Simon Storm]

That would be telling,but the engine is available quite easily on both sides of the pond. Watch this Space !

Let try and Guess what car engine package Simon is up to for the VSTORM?

I think it is a Ford Product like "Ztec", The UK has plenty and proven in other Kits.

I am new to the boards and looking to build an exo. What was the new engine?
Thanks, Jim
