Having written about Xray’s T3 2012 Spec touring car before we can now show your first pictures of the Slovakian company’s contender for the 2012 season. Based on the successful T3 platform and therefore fully compatible with the majority of spare and option parts, the 2012 Spec features an all-new graphite chassis and top-deck designed for increased overall traction and improved on-power steering. Also new are the front and rear upper bulkheads that now feature three camber link mounting positions and that allow for a quick change of the linkage length and roll centre positions using shims. Along with the new upper bulkheads go new shock towers for increased on-power steering and improved high-traction handling, new harder steering blocks to prevent tyre temperature issues in high-grip conditions, a 4-spring servo saver for increased steering accuracy, and a new leaf-free gear differential that is lighter and smoother compared to other differentials.
