Holy shit...that thing would break traction in top gear. Weighs about 850kg...that's just...f***ed lol.

Edit: All that technology and it's got S15 air vents? Pfft...

I'm kind of interested to see how they designed the brakes. They don't look all too impressive from the images but if it can hold grip enough to accelerate that fast and perform equally well on the braking it should be great on the track, as long as you don't understeer into the wall.

Edit:

guessing it may be the same as the MT900R

AP 6-piston front calipers, AP 4-piston rear calipers, AP 378mm ventilated front disc, AP 355mm ventilated rear disc, Manually adjustable front / rear brake bias, Optional front and rear upright carbon brake ducts

i will believe it when the numbers are confirmed. not saying it isn't possible or that it won't be fast, but all the info comes from the IAD press release. hasn't been tested by anyone else yet.

also i think this will me be more of a straight line hero than a track car. it will be quick around a track but i think it will be too powerful to be super quick. i think round a tight track much less powerful cars will out perform it, kind of like how the veyron isn't that quick around a track.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
