Amazing New Norris Design Demo Car
No info on Norris' site yet, so... with thanks to the Mitsubishi Lancer Register (UK)
The MLR were recently invited to Norris Designs for an exclusive preview of their new demo car.
Here's a brief rundown of the car and some pictures as the final build nears completion.
Exactly what the new Norris Designs demo car is has been the subject of much speculation
and Simon's kept it a closely guarded secret whilst creating what is the most unique Evo ever seen.
Believing that the only way Evo performance can take a big step forward is with drastic
weight loss, Norris Designs have built an Evo that should weigh in at just 1080kg.
With a power to weight ratio of nearly 800bhp per ton it's almost 300bhp per ton
more powerful than the old Norris Design Evo 7 demo car!!
To build an Evo this light has meant the car has undergone some major weight loss and
incredible engineering, including a substantial amount of the bodyshell being removed
to make the car shorter and lower. In fact it is 10inches shorter and 3inches lower
than a standard Evo 9 shell. With the shell customised this much, the rear doors have been
removed creating the world's first Short Wheelbase 2-Door Evo....
ND Evo 9 SWB -
Basic Spec List:
Performance
Power 841 hp & 635 lb-ft (Klotz 118 Race Fuel)
Target weight 1080Kg (2381 lbs) (dry)
Target top speed: 215 Mph+
Target � mile: Sub 9 seconds
Engine, Gearbox, ECU & Brakes
ND 2.3 litre stoker
Garrett GT42R roller bearing turbo
ND 4� WRC style custom exhaust system with side exit
Motec M800 Pro ECU
Holinger dog engagement straight cut gearkit
Ikeya sequential shifter with digital gear indicator
Brembo 8-pot metal matrix calipers front & rear
Body
Acid dipped custom 2 door short wheelbase low roof Evolution 9 shell
Custom T45 full weld in load bearing roll cage
Custom air jack tyre changing system
Interior/Exterior
Carbon everywhere!
"The work that's gone into this car is incredible.
The shell was cut into 3 parts and the height and length removed.
The joins are totally seamless.
The roof is totally carbon and there's a huge rear diffuser being fitted.
A lot of the floor has been cut out and flattened as much as possible.
The roof was lowered to reduce drag and allow for higher top speeds.
The car has not just been built for drag racing, but also to go around corners.
I think this car could get into the 5 seconds for 30-130mph" _________________ Walk softly... and carry a BIG stick!

That's hardly fair.. the E9 only has 405 hp at most (FQ400)...
(only 405!?!... what's "only" about 405 hp)
A better comparo would be against the RC Develoopment Evo 6... with over 900 hp!!! _________________ Walk softly... and carry a BIG stick! |
