” I can inform you that unlike the LMDh (SC63) with a standalone engine, the Super Trofeo along with the GT3 vehicle will certainly have the road engine consisting of all the very advanced things,” Mohr stated when requested more information concerning the brand-new design’s engine system.
” It will certainly not be hybrid though (like the road-going design it is based upon), so it will certainly require to be changed, after that allow’s see if high-revving make good sense or otherwise. We need to locate the very best concession in between drivability and effectiveness.”
