Bittydesign from Italy have introduced a new version of the Seven20 GT body shell for the GT12 class. This project was born from the desire to offer to the enthusiast a body shell that could best combine maximum performance together with an all new style never seen before in this class. The body combines maximum performance with true supercar looks, making reference to a British GT3 supercar. The lowered front nose generates excellent steering while the lowered cab and the sculptured shape of the sides stabilise the airflow that conveys into the large rear wing, making the body easy to drive thanks to balanced front and rear downforce. The lid is moulded from high-quality 0.75mm Lexan polycarbonate, it comes clear, including window masks and a precut decal sheet. A suitable rear wing and wing mounting hardware rounds out the package.
