Having just announced the Evo version of their 966 Serpent have today introduced the 733 Evo. Essentially with the same updates as its bigger brother, the Serpent Flex Control rear end allows the brackets holding the 2-speed shaft and the brackets holding the rear diff to be connected with either aluminium inserts, rubber inserts or left in full flex mode. The car now also comes with the company’s direct link system that transfers the suspension pressure from one side, through a link system to the other side, creating even more rear end grip and making the 733 even easier to driver. Also the 2-speed shaft bearings and rear anti-roll bar ball-bearings are now set in delrin bushings to insulate from vibrations and the kit now includes a monoblock engine mount and steel ventilated brake disk as standard.
