Recommended Posts

Gravity/Soap Box/Billycart Racer. Made by Lamborghini for the Gravity Races to compete against Lotus, Bentley, Maclaren, etc. (Google it - it's a big deal sport! I had no idea.) Current winner is Lotus who's racer is capable of 200mph on a 45degree slope :shock:

 

This one was commissioned by LOC to compete in the American Championships. Full carbon fibre, 4 wheel disc brakes, best lightweight components, etc.

 

I bought it from Kentucky. It took me 4 months to get it here :(

Lots of cool details. The driver's head opening is in the shape of the Lamborghini badge shield.

 

It also has momo harnesses and alcantara trimmed seat.

 

It has underbody aero too.

Awesome! Have you driven it yet?

 

If you want to start tweaking on things you might look at getting some hydraulic calipers on the brakes and smaller rotors (help acceleration). They have road bike specific stuff now that wasn't available when those were built.

First that is cool as heck! What an awesome addition to the garage.

 

 

As for doing 200MPH in that thing....I wouldn't even want to do 200KPH in it. Are we SURE it did 200MPH? That seems fast even if it was dropped out of the back of a plane.

It certainly is a coffin. Someone else has to strap the harness on and you can't undo it yourself. Then the body gets lowered and gets locked in place. Again, you can't undo it yourself. Then the helmet gets put on. You cannot reach it yourself.

the world record was 85mph top speed..

 

nothing close to 200mph..but still pretty crazy for something that looks like that..takes balls to be in it.
