Until you just mentioned it here and I looked it up on the internet, I didn't even know there was a cup in Frnace with these cars! Sorry to hear they've fitted them with diesel engines, though. Is it another unit than the one in one of the original RC concept cars? What/who is Colza BTW? |
They are fitted with a 2.2 HDi engine which developps 178 bhp/ 380 Nm of torque. The Diester is a melting with (in this case but it can change) 50% of diesel and 50 % of diester which comes from colza ( colza like colza oil/ rape / rapeseed oil
i don't know what word using... ). There was a test of it in Turbo last week, the driver was surprised to have to change gear at 4000 rpm !!!
