The Toniq-R pre-production prototype, designed and built by four students at the University of Huddersfield, doesn’t actually have an engine mounted within its space frame chassis. But if it did, we designers would like to think that the final specification for the road legal Toniq-R would be similar to this: (Figures based on new Westfield XTR2) BODY: Fibreglass panels CHASSIS: 1” steel powder coated space frame ENGINE ORIGIN: Suzuki Hayabusa motorbike DETAILS: Liquid cooled 4 cylinder 16V dohc 1299cc EXHAUST: Micron twin slash cut 2.5” central rear exit POWER: 178 bhp @ 9,800 rpm; 102 lb ft @ 7,000 rpm TRANSMISSION: 6 speed sequential manual, rear wheel drive WHEELS: 17” x 6” Momo Quazar II TYRES: Avon ZZ3 205/45 ZR17 road tyres BRAKES: 298mm discs with 4-pot Brembo calipers SEATS: Fiberglass bucket with 4 point Sparco harnesses WEIGHT: 495 kg (360 bhp/tonne) PERFORMANCE: 0 – 60mph in 3.5 seconds; 140+ mph PRICE: £4,000 in basic kit form; £16,000 factory built (student discounts available) (Designers’ note : the production car would include rear view mirrors, cycle wing type mud guards and a small F1-style wind deflector mounted on the bulkhead.) |
