Fuoss
01
The
German-built Fuoss 01 track car has been five years in the making. The
single-seat Fuoss 01 is powered by a 40 hp, 400 cc Suzuki DOHC engine,
mated to a five-speed sequential manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. This
setup gets the 300 kg (661 lb) Fuoss 01 to a top speed of over 90 mph. Not fast
compared to conventional sports cars, but in a single seat open vehicle it's
fast enough.
Because
of the lack of any weather protection all the switch gear and controls are
fully waterproofed as is the seat covering.
The
high-quality GRP body which covers the tubular metal frame serves two purposes,
protection from dirt and debris, and aerodynamic benefits. The body can be
colored to suit the buyers tastes.
The
Fuoss 01 features disc brakes both front and rear hidden behind lightweight
14" OZ wheels with 195/45 tires. The suspension system comprises of a
double wishbone setup up front with adjustable Ohlins shocks. At the rear is a
fully adjustable Öhlins central shock.
Each
year Fuoss intends to build only 10 vehicles to ensure exclusivity.
