Hi Mretw,


The Vehicross`s transmission is basically a simplefied version of the transmission of the amazing rally monster...the Rally 2CV!
Pretty cool he? We not only have rally suspension, but also a rally gear box.
Most cars in the Paris Dakar are equiped with this fine piece of machinery
Here`s a pic of this beautiful WRC ***** kicking french rocket!


Look it`s got fangs..now you know where the VX designers got their inspiration from!
Here something about its specs:

Engines - - Sensible engine tuning means engines can last a whole season, including a 24-hour between rebuilds, and it only costs between £400 and £1000 to build in the first place. Performance is better than most people think. With 45-50HP and a car weighing only 530Kg the cars can still do 95 mph. Modifications are limited to higher compression pistons, gas flowed heads, lighted flywheels, and 2CV racing club approved electronic ignition.

Tyres - have to be 15 inch Firestone road tyres. Sizes used are 125, 135, or 145. Most people these days run 145s. A set can last more than a complete season - not including the 24-hour race when between 4 and 8 tyres are needed to complete the distance. Scrubbed tyres are available through the club at a discount.

The original 2CV grand tourer, compare the inside with the VX and notice the similarities!



Ouch enough, time for a holiday!
