ENGINE:

The Speedcar Engine was developed specifically for the Speedcar Series. Using type V8 engines Speedcar Series developed, through extensive testing sessions in the US and the Middle East, a reliable engine that will serve stock car racing on road tracks well.

Due to severe weather conditions expected at most Speedcar tracks special attention was paid to engine cooling and engine insulation to prevent overheating and extensive dust absorption.

The 6 litre V8 Speedcar unit developing 620 bhp will perform during the entire season.

A key component to any high-powered racing engine is air. Air is the essential ingredient for combustion to take place in the engine. The air needed is sucked through the multiple air intakes, located in the front bumpers, onwards to the air filter located on top of the engine below the engine cover.
FRAME:

Protecting the driver during race accidents SPEEDCAR Series race cars are equipped with what is known as a roll cage, as opposed to the monocoque used in open wheel racing cars.

The roll cage forms part of the frame, which consists of a structure of steel tubes varying in thickness and reinforced by gussets at many of the crossing points.

While the roll cage is made of the thickest tubing, the front and rear sections of the frame, called the front and rear clip, are built of thinner steel tubing in order to allow for crushing and thus shock absorption upon impact. In addition, the front clip is designed to push the engine out of the bottom of the car, rather than into the driver's compartment, during an accident.
