A while back we showed you pictures of a new Russian made prototype touring car that has been tearing up the tracks in Russia. The car we showed you before was shaft drive and sported the motor mounted perpendicularly to the shaft and although we never did see how that worked along comes another Tourer, this time its fully carbon which makes it extremely light. The main feature of this, and the previous car too, is the fact that they dont appear to have shock absorbers or even anywhere to mount them and are basically flat pan electric touring cars.

Lowering the center of gravity is a main concern for any driver and this is why the R&D department of RB designed a new lightened head for a lower center of gravity. Using magnesium was a first step, but the heat conductivity of this material is pretty different compared to the aluminium and that is why Rody Roem designed a brand new head to have more fins around the hot spot of the plug. This Light head fits any RB engine which comes with a separate combustion chamber: it receives a dark grey coating and the new L2G logotype. This head will be produced in a limited quantity as an optional part and will be available in mid May.
