Chris Harris drives the AMR Pro
We've got sedans for that. I don't see the point of these car if they're not hyper focused track machines, 300 HP is all you need to enjoy the road.It's cool that it can be driven on the road, but I'm not sure the balance of usability is right. I think it would be a more interesting proposition if it was a bit more refined - at least not requiring the use of headphones which is pretty over the top.
I believe that was the original plan but the Valkyrie AMR has been a GTP-style hybrid since it debuted. With the energy requirements in both series it's almost impossible to not run a hybrid due to lack of efficiency. See Vanwall, Glickenhaus, and now Isotta Fraschini. Hell, the Porsche today ran the entire cooldown lap after Hyperpole at low speed in EV mode because was out of fuel (and it's weight) but still had energy to spare.But then again...weren't they slated to NOT run a Hybrid at all?
Probably deserves it's own threads but it has a common thread in Adrian Newey.
Im not sure that many details have been release but I would expect there to be huge differences, mostly for serviceability and durability. Dimensions and many bodywork pieces appear to at least look the same, but again probably redesigned for easier maintenance. The front pontoons and example, and the rear diffuser. Basically all the internals have probably been redesigned for quick maintenance. Basically, it’s no more a road car than a GT3 car is.From my understanding, the LMH car doesn't share too many parts with the road car. It uses the same engine, albeit detuned, but the chassis is completely different and the entire front wing and floor are bespoke to the race car too
New street car lap record at Silverstone of 1:56.42, putting it on pace with GT3 cars.
next-gen Forza (GT doesn't do Silverstone )Looks like next-gen Gran Turismo!
