2009 Fornasari Racing Buggy

The Fornasari Racing Buggy represents the access point to Fornasari's world.

2009 Fornasari Racing Buggy.

It has been designed with 2 levels of mechanic; one is more accessible, the other one uses the classic architecture of Fornasari with a tube chassis, overlapped triangle suspensions and a Chevrolet powertrain.
This is a vehicle for everyday use.
The car's skeleton consists of a special steel piping chassis in molybdenum-chrome that means a real space-frame in a 5 users' model adaptation.
More than 450 pipelines go across in order to obtain stiffness and torsion capability with a weight of less than 150 kg. The suspension triangles are equal on the four sides and they are mechanical jewels, with welding joints like those in Formula 1.
The suspensions travel of 240 mm has been studied so as not to affect or change in any extent the geometrical configuration, as it had been set.
Engine.
The heart consists of the latest generation of engines by General Motors. The result is a light but reliable unit all built in aluminum.
