UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

nice. must start saving and maybe by the imte I'm 178 I may have enough dosh.
but why aren't the brake calipers fitted horizontally at the lowest point of the disc?
surely that helps keeping CoG low - any reason why they are not fitted like that?

that would mean the ferrari logo would be upside down

because the wishbones and ball joints (or whatever ferrari would use) would be in the way?

My guess is they'd get filled up with road cack?
That said I've often wondered why they don't at least fit the calipers vertical and facing towards the middle of the car front and rear -
which would lower and centralis the weight as much as possible. The again, lightweight alloy calipers and all that - maybe it's not important
enough.

that is the most likely I reckon; not sure if a system can be designed to get round that.

probably, but there's only so far you can take the whole weight reduction lower CoG thing really before it gets silly i think.
it looks unusal, and different, and i think thats why they've gone for it where they have.

Forgive me for going against common opinion, but er, it isn't that nice.
Front end looks a bit odd, and the side view looks a bit mustangish at the rear, and the shape looks generally a bit like a GT40. But, I like how
those cars look, not this one though.

Hi
This, in my opinion, bears a striking resemblance to the Opel GTJ, my first car, Ahh the memories.

From the side, it looks like the GT40... (IMO)

The front end kind of reminds me of the Fury LeMans style bonnet.

LOL guys! It's concept artwork - the calipers are there because that's where the artist put them  . Notice the front and rear discs are
also the same size. And just like every other concept car rendering in the history of time, it has ridiculous wheels that barely fit under the arches
with a thin layer of tyre painted on the edge. An engineer probably hasn't seen it yet!
Damn pretty though - I'll have one.

Yup spot on Liam.
if anyone has the talent to replicate that shape on stick onto a kit car chassis that is a sure fire winner

Not sure it would alter the C of G as it's unsprung weight?
