Find out what makes this car more special than a Ferrari or a Evo.

Kevin Gallahan:
"It wasn't the start of a company but the start of an idea."
"Here we are today with a high technology, carbon composite chassis building a world class supercar in Thailand"
"The cost of the prototype build has been as high as it would have been anywhere in the world."

Did you know:
The P 708 a collector's car – only 100 will be built.

Most of the cars suspension components are interchangeable. This includes: billet machined aluminum rear uprights, wheel bearings, wheel hubs, top wishbones, rod ends and spherical bearings, rockers journals, anti-rollbar blades and brake calipers.

The pushrod front and rear suspension has a rocker arrangement, which gives a velocity ratio of 1.2:1. The front rocker has a slight rising rate characteristic for stability under heavy braking and entry into corners. The rear rocker is linear to optimize traction coming out of corners.

The anti-rollbar control front and rear is via a 4130 aircraft quality steel TIG welded bar with an adjustable blade giving six positions of stiffness. Additional rates can be achieved with optional alternate rollbar diameters.

The suspension is fully adjustable with regard to camber, toe, Ackerman and caster and can therefore be refined to suit road or track conditions or driver preference. Steering is via a rack and pinion assembly. The Penske shock absorbers are 3 way adjustable for high and low speed bump and rebound.
There is a dual braking system with individual master cylinders for the front and rear with a driver adjustable brake balance bar, ventilated rotors and aluminum calipers. ?? wheels are recommended as original equipment and attached via a center locking wheel nut device with independent drive pegs on the wheel hubs with an "over center" nut lock safety device.

The body has front mounted water radiator ducted over the top of the car and side mountedoil coolers ducted in through the side of the car that exit through the engine compartment and out of the rear. The engine air inlet duct is centrally located and situated behind the driving compartment. The front of the car has a venturi tunnel in between the front wheels, and venturi tunnels/diffusers in the rear floor for overall downforce. A rear wing is available as an optional extra.
