Taken from another forum:

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:

Power
841Hp & 635LbFt (Klotz 118 Race Fuel)
Target weight 1080Kg (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!

I want to see this thing go around the track :twisted:
Norris Designs are fairly local to me but I've only seen them run one of their EVO's at Combe. But That was one of the fastest things i've seen, so this should be mindblowingly fast.
I also have the in-car footage of the one I've seen go around Combe and the driver really does drive the car hard :twisted:

Thats what I thought. They shorten the shell too lose weight and then add something thats really not needed. But saying that i've been trying to lose weight out of my car and have been thinking about putting some of those on :roll: It would be well nice. After a track day, just connect it up to the airline and up she goes. Then all the wheels can come off and the the car checked over.

but if F1 is so high tech, why do they use sack barrows to lift their cars up? ;) lol

wow thats a nice piece of kit, not seen that one until now, although if its anything to go by the last one they did, and it sounds alot quicker, it sure will fly

Anyone seen the vids of it? Can't believe how fast it accellerated lol
