And even dan confirmed that it will also make a test before Abu Dhabi to adapt to the prototype that will lead and that is as the that is also used for the 24 hours of Le Mans and will also serve as a preparation for this other category, that also have an interest.

Such a box has 6 speeds and a lightweight housing of magnesium.
The front suspension is a double whisbones push-rod activated, while the rear is something more simple but similar characteristics. These elements will have to withstand the vibrations and bumps in the path when your engine Gibson GK-428 4.2-liter is set to roar.
