Xray Column – Back to the Future

Xray Column - Back to the Future

The 27th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj talks about the Xray product line, lists each ones strong and weak points, scores them and offers an idea as to what will be changed in future versions.

So at the end we worked around the XT8 to reach a middle ground, allowing the 2009 version of the XT8 to retain as many parts as possible but also to improve those areas and parts which will bring the XT8 to the next higher level once again. The truggy market has been enjoying increasing popularity worldwide and as such I am convinced that the 2009 XT8 will again be a level better in 2009.

First seen last February when it was originally shown as the S500 from Serpent, the project has since been taken back under the Team Durango name and following some more tweaks to get it ready for the production the new buggy looks finally ready for release. These first closeup shots show a lot of similarities to the S500 buggy, but we believe that the car has received a pretty major makeover, confirmation of which will only come when we finally see the finished product.
